Wikimedia Apps/Sunsetting MobileView

In mid-2020, we moved to a new system for serving articles for the Android and iOS Wikipedia apps. A very small portion of our users - fewer than 1% - are still using versions of the Android or iOS app that were released in mid-2020 or earlier, and thus utilizing this aging system.

This older system is being turned off in mid-May. Users of these older versions are receiving notifications on the top of every Wikipedia article informing them about this upcoming change, and instructing them to upgrade their app.

If you have questions or believe you are erroneously seeing the message, please email us at android-support@wikimedia.org or mobile-ios-wikipedia@wikimedia.org.
