Hi Josh,
Thanks for the update. I would like to make a suggestion. When there are
updates to the Wikipedia mobile apps for Android or iOS, would you consider
cross-posting the announcements to the Wikipedia-l mailing list
<https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikipedia-l>? I think that
cross-posting occasional announcements to Wikitech-l and/or Wikimedia-l
would be okay too, but I especially suggest Wikipeda-l. Announcements for
updates to the Commons mobile app are already sent occasionally to the
Commons mailing list, and my suggestion here is to adopt a similar practice
for the Wikipedia mobile apps.

Hello mobile Wikimedians,
The Wikimedia iOS app team is excited to announce our next major update is
now available on the app store:
https://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=32471523…
v6.3 is chock-a-block with fixes and features, including:
- Been having trouble syncing reading lists or downloading reading
lists to new devices? We fixed a ton of sync problems!
- Easy support for adding media from Wikimedia Commons in editing
mode. Press the media button and easily an images to add with a tap.
- Easy wiki link insertion and updating tool.
- Fix issues with currently reading article not reopening after app
background. Now when you return to the article it will still be there!
- Join the conversation with support for User talk built in. Go to
Settings and log in to see your user talk in a mobile friendly
presentation.
- A fresh new sticker pack from the Foundation's Communications team
and Giphy.
Thanks as always to our volunteer translators, coders and testers. If
