The Wikipedia iOS app team is excited to announce the initial beta of our next major version (5.8.0) has been released to TestFlight.

This update adds Reading Lists that let you organize and sync saved articles across the Wikipedia apps[1]. 

Reading Lists allow you to organize your articles into folders, as well as search and sort all your saved articles, even offline. For users who log in, and opt into syncing, your Reading Lists will also sync across your mobile devices, including to your Android devices with the most recent Wikipedia Beta app installed (and logged in).

Please note that we will make every effort to preserve Reading Lists created during this beta when we release the final version. However it is a beta, please keep in ming there is some risk of data loss.

If you are not a beta tester, but want to be, please sign up here to be included in our next update:  https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfW7zFnUDYABvHLWlFclZ7OJEK82WjVIjs_dSzwIDM0Hnz31A/viewform
