General info
Wikipedia Mobile web application is accessible via any web browser, it provides different features than the app, such as the ability to create watchlists, collections, and receiving notifications. The iOS app provides a different reading experience optimized for iOS devices, the ability to see pages about things that are nearby, and the ability to save pages for offline reading—to name just a few.
 * What is the difference between iOS app and mobile web app?

Please check out our Team page to find out more.
 * Who develops the iOS app?

The table of contents may be accessed either from the table of contents icon or by dragging from the edge of the screen:

Offline reading and data
To save an article for reading later, just tap the "bookmark" icon in the bottom bar while viewing the article. To view your saved articles, tap the "Saved" tab.
 * Can I save articles for offline reading?

Yes. If your mobile carrier supports Wikipedia Zero, then go to settings and enable Wikipedia Zero warnings to be notified when you are accessing Wikipedia data for free and when you may incur charges.
 * Can I access Wikipedia for free with your app?

Only if you opt in during app setup or via enable data collection in the Settings menu. For opted in user the app will track some of your actions, and send reports of crashes. In no case will we share that information with 3rd parties. Specific details on what information is collected can be found on the usage reports details page. These reports are only sent when you activate the option. It can be easily deactivated from the Setting menu. We also have crash reporting to help us fix bugs. If a crash is detected, you will be prompted with the option to send us the crash report if you like. (Please say yes! It helps us a lot.) All collected data is anonymous.
 * Does your app track me? Do you use my data?

When you click Nearby, the app requests access to use the GPS so we can determine your location. Then, we query Wikipedia for a list of articles that are nearby. The iOS application itself doesn't store your location or send it to our own servers. As an iOS user, you have already agreed to Apple's Terms and Conditions for the iOS version running on your device. Please refer to section 4, Consent to Use of Data, for more information about how they handle your Location and other usage data.
 * How does Nearby work?

You can refer to the page on event logging to see the various interactions and data we record. Keep in mind that not all events are logged on all platforms. If there's a specific scenario that concerns you, please reach out to the team so we can give you a definitive answer by referencing the code.
 * What information does the usage report contain?

We use a service called HockeyApp to report crashes in the iOS application. When you choose to send us a crash (which we're immensely grateful for!), it tells us where in the code the crash originated from (the stack track across all active threads), and other diagnostic information such as the iOS version and device type.

Języki
We’re working on making it easier to delete languages, but for now you can hide the languages search bar completely if you primarily use a single language:

Links and OS Search
To open a link in the app, long press the link. You'll then be offered the option to "Open in Wikipedia Mobile". (Note that links to Commons, Wikitionary or other Wikimedia project are not supported at this time.)
 * How can I open Wikipedia links from Safari/Mail/etc in the app?

iOS uses your past link opening choices to determine how to handle links. To stop this:
 * How do I STOP the OS from opening Wikipedia links automatically in the app?


 * 1) When iOS asks to open a link in the app: cancel.
 * 2) When iOS opens the link from Safari in the app, use the back button in the upper left of the screen to return to Safari.
 * 3) When iOS opens the link in the app, tap the Share button on the bottom toolbar, then select "Open in Safari"

When reading the article simply press the share button on the toolbar. You should see options to open the link in Safari (or other installed browser) as well as the option to copy the URL to paste into other apps.

Not at the moment, though we plan to work on user-configurable font sizes in the near future.

iPad
The app is a Universal app and supports all iOS devices which run iOS 8 or 9. However the app was designed with smaller devices in mind, though full iPad support is in the works.
 * Does the app work on iPad?

Not currently but we plan to add support for Split Screen mode and other iPad specific features in future updates.
 * Can I use the app in split view mode (side by side with another app)?

No. You can edit without creating a username or logging in, but note that your IP address will be associated with your edits, and will be visible to anyone who reads the page's history.
