We saw lots of users engaging with positive and meaningful content, which demonstrated to us that we were on the right path. Our annual <a href=\"https:\/\/getpocket.com\/collections\/pockets-best-of-2021\">Best of Pocket 2021 <\/a>awards, which highlight the most-read and -shared stories this year, demonstrate the power of our Pocket community to curate a web that is worthy of time and attention. Today, we present the top Pocket features we worked on in 2021 that are making that possible.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Personalizing your new Home in Pocket&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Historically, most of the content that people consume within Pocket starts with a save. You see a good story somewhere, save it to Pocket, and open the app later to read it. In the fall, we rolled out a Web-only beta launch of a fundamentally new experience within Pocket &#8212; a new \u201cHome.\u201d Currently available to users who log in to Pocket, Home is where you can find stories or sources that our content discovery team believes will be relevant to you. Plus, the more stories you save and the more you engage with Pocket, the better these recommendations will become. Unlike other recommendation sources, we always apply a human editorial layer to keep people from going down rabbit holes and ensuring high quality. In your new Home, we\u2019ve added the following sections personalized for you:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong><em>Recommended reads, just for you<\/em><\/strong> &#8211; This section is based on your recent saves in the last six months so it\u2019s aimed at bringing you the articles you saved and want to read more about.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/sE_4CHB-BZMTlWGRFE_G9MX5S3KAVV-kZ0MIkiB5iGFsa5q1uT1TksCKemyu7inls-FMbUNqtSzTpQfxZZu2EedMOmg3C2hpVfqbIu49GQZHc4ixTt4uKSY2O91hjCGmoAtZJrHm\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong><em>Recent Saves <\/em><\/strong>&#8211; At the top of the new home page, there\u2019s a section that shows your three recent saves so you can quickly access it. You\u2019ll notice at the bottom of each of those recent saves we give you the option to show similar articles. For some articles, we have additional articles where you can dive deeper into that topic or theme.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh6.googleusercontent.com\/U3o3DOQy2lCempStMMuupGb1QCvo_2gekz_Jmx7QJJQuiatjMlr7b2kihfIpsOYnVs5xal2GK7GEwov-FTFYUXmBRjpoTnlIl_krUzqKaNmwM70kkzr5PynGg7p1mmdppyEvzq5D\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to these two new personalized features on the new Home in Pocket, we\u2019re experimenting with showing you your top three most-saved topics and listing popular articles in each section. The topics include self improvement, career, business, tech, health and fitness, entertainment and more. You\u2019ll also find Editors\u2019 picks, which are curated by Pocket editors based on the most-saved and engaged with articles in Pocket, and a new section for our most-read Collections (more about Collections towards the end of this article).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ll be doing a lot to improve the Home experience in the coming months. We believe it will help you discover new things to read&#8211;right within Pocket. Here\u2019s more on that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Getting Pocket on Android organized for your high-quality reads<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In the physical world, the act of organization is to help us strategically place things so we can easily get to them. In the kitchen, for example, we have the pots and pans close to the oven and the dishwasher right next to the sink. This year, we focused on creating features that help uncover the high-quality content you\u2019ve already saved to your list in order to ultimately save you time, with new <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.getpocket.com\/2021\/04\/latest-pocket-for-android-features-make-it-easier-to-find-the-content-youve-saved\/\">time-to-read filters and sorting options on our Android app<\/a>. This month we\u2019re releasing two new features that you can also find in our Android app: Viewed and Unviewed and Next and Previous. Here\u2019s how these two new features will save you time:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong><em>Get you faster to content with Viewed\/Unviewed articles<\/em><\/strong>: Now, you no longer need to guess which articles you\u2019ve read once you\u2019ve saved them. From My List, all unviewed articles will be in bold. Once you\u2019ve viewed the article, it will no longer be bold. We\u2019ve also added three buttons &#8212; share, archive, and additional actions (represented as three vertical dots) &#8212; so that after you\u2019ve finished reading your article you can send it to a friend, save it in your favorites, categorize it by tag or simply delete it.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-rounded\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/x9We-gCLAScUKRVXD0PcG_oX1WoZBCb64ZmbXBcciHQPfPXVBhAzgu7AR3xElGeEHF9RJTn8Qy_F2tdv23kvWVR1FyeIJ9Or7fjy2DLMRpYuFUVPqiaIxXQD-M6jjNnaTcTmk2Pi\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong><em>Moving forward with your Next article: <\/em><\/strong>From My List, once you\u2019ve opened up an article, you\u2019ll find the Next and Previous arrows at the bottom of your screen or when you scroll up.

Collections put the best of the web at users\u2019 fingertips, on a wide variety of topics (<a href=\"https:\/\/getpocket.com\/collections\/how-to-start-meditating\">How to start meditating.<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/getpocket.com\/collections\/how-to-write-almost-anything-from-a-great-joke-to-a-killer-cover-letter\">How to write (almost) anything.<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/getpocket.com\/collections\/zoom-brain-what-you-need-to-know-and-how-to-manage\">Managing Zoom brain.<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/getpocket.com\/collections\/essential-reading-understanding-the-un-climate-report\">What\u2019s worth reading about the climate report) by taking <\/a>the guesswork out of trying to figure out and find what\u2019s worth your time and attention.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can now easily find all of our Collections on a dedicated tab and page, with new ones being published each week.
