Sorry, I should write much clearer, what I mean :) The "And on mobile in alpha mode" is meant for the mobile version of the Wikipedia _website_, e.g. en.m.wikipedia.org (which you visit with your web browser) :)
Best, Florian

And on mobile in alpha mode: Tap the hamburger menu (3 lines on the top left), click settings and enable the beta mode. Save and do it again and enable experimental mode now. After that you can swipe on an internal link from left to right (or vice versa) and you see a preview :)
Well, I haven't got any other version of the mobile app than the alpha one, so I can't test this at the moment. I'm also quite happy with the alpha version, too, so I won't be installing the stable app any time soon.
But just to make sure: I am talking about the feature that lets you look up a short snippet of the article when you tap on an internal link. Swiping from the right lets me see the article's table of contents, and swiping from the left shows a menu with the 'History', 'Nearby' and 'Random' options, so perhaps we're talking about two diffe rent things? :-)
