Hello mobile Wikimedians,
A new version of the Wikipedia app for iOS was released to the App Store[1] this morning, alongside Apple's iOS 10 update. This version includes a number of iOS 10 compatibility features and improvements. We strongly recommend that users who have updated their OS also update to this version.
This version includes:
- Today widgets for iOS 10[2]. To add the Wikipedia widgets, go to the Today screen by swiping right on your lock screen. Then scroll down, tap Edit and then tap the green pluses next to our icons. We've added two widgets:
- Continue Reading - Readers can now pick up exactly where they stopped reading an article.
- Top Read - You can now see the top-read articles in your primary language Wikipedia.
- Spotlight continuation: type a search in Spotlight, then see the results in the app.
- Fix for Wikipedia Zero to help ensure users know when they are on a Zero network.
- Fix an issue where the previously open article could be lost between sessions.
- Other small bug and crash fixes.
Thanks,
Josh Minor
