Is anyone else is having this problem?

My wife and I are on iOS family sharing.
I have Apple One Premiere subscription (Apple TV+, News+, iCloud, Apple Music+, Games, Fitness)

When wife is signed into her AppleID on iPhone, under Settings it shows family sharing services shared by me.
Thus she can use the News App articles under our shared subscription. (So far, so good)

When she is signed into same AppleID on iPad running the latest iOS 15.3.1, it also shows shows the same family sharing services. HOWEVER... the News App on the iPad shows no subscriptions and she can't read the news!
(even with Media Sharing enabled).

I was on phone w/Apple Support for hours today.
They couldn't fix it and I later filed a feedback bug citing that Case # to try to increase visibility to it.

So far Apple Support is stumped and I feel like I'm doing all the leg work.
as I got bounced around from tech to tech re-explaining.

I finally decided to subscribe her to News+ service privately for an extra $10/mo but should not have to because I'm already paying under Apple One.

Hopefully Apple will put out an iOS update that fixes is.
