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.

=== 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. [9]
