[Wikitech-l] Readers Monthly update for April 2018

Hello again, This is the monthly update from the Readers team at the Wikimedia Foundation for April 2018. As always, feedback and questions are welcome. ==Highlights== * Synced Reading Lists are now available on both Android and iOS. [0] === Apps=== * ''Android -'' Synced reading lists are now available on Android! [1] [2] This has been one of the most consistently requested app features, and the team is delighted to be able to bring it to you. A browser extension is in the works to allow you to add articles to your reading lists from the web. We'll announce in the app when it's ready. * ''iOS'' - Guess what? When we said syncing we meant across platforms too! iOS also released syncing reading lists, brining folders, search and sort to our Saved pages, and letting you sync across to Android. [3] === Web === * Page Previews were enabled by default for logged-out users on English and German Wikipedia. [4] The feature is now deployed to all Wikipedia projects for logged-out users. Logged-in users can enable the feature in their Preferences. [5] [6] [7] [8] === New Readers === * New Reader updates can be found at Meta.
