Hi everyone,
We've released an updated version of the Wikipedia Android app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.wikipedia&hl=en, now available on the Google Play store! (For devices without Google Play services, you may download https://releases.wikimedia.org/mobile/android/wikipedia/stable/wikipedia-2.7.225-releasesprod-2018-02-06.apk the app directly)
This is a relatively minor update that focuses on performance improvements in the Reading Lists feature, especially with very large numbers of articles in reading lists.
We're also introducing the idea of a "default" reading list, created automatically, allowing you to save articles with fewer taps, while retaining the option to create and organize other lists as before.
Cheers,
🎊🎊👍

I guess the term "Default" would be misleading here. It might lead the reader into believing that the articles would be added to the new "default" reading list when the user taps on the "Add to reading list" icon without asking him for confirmation. But that's not the case. It just saves him from having to create a new reading list to start adding articles.
