Thanks Dmitry. Is WMF Comms going to market product updates like this? One
item of feedback on the Strategic Plan was a request for a Wikipedia app,
suggesting a lack of public awareness about the existing apps.

* Enlarged images when browsing articles
* Improved "read more" suggestions at the bottom of articles
* Enabled "Search Wikipedia" when sharing text from other apps
* Added system language support & Chinese dialects to Wikipedia language
picker
* Improved appearance and consistency of article lists (History, Saved
Pages, etc.)
