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? 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=324715238&mt=8

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 you'd like to sign up to help beta test future versions, you can now sign up directly here:


Cheers,
