I have had this issue repeatedly from the google news app and again I go to its settings to disable background data only to check it a couple of days later and background data is turned on once again. Its been happening since last year (2019), only its becoming more frequent now than it use to be. I've searched google support for answers, sent emails and have gotten no response no fix no answer. I've always enjoyed google news but I could'nt take it anymore so I deleted the app. Thank you so much for your time and I look forward to your response. Have a great afternoon!
