Stay Up to Date and Informed On the Topics You Care About <\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Pocket’s latest updates make it simpler than ever to discover and organize high-quality content that aligns with your unique interests and passions. As you may have noticed, Pocket<\/a> has been rapidly evolving and growing; we\u2019re listening to our users so that we can continue to make Pocket the go-to destination to stay informed and keep up to date with the topics you love. Starting today, Pocket is rolling out a new mobile and web experience so you can easily find the stories and topics you care about. In addition, Pocket is launching a new feature called Lists <\/em>(at launch just on web, with the feature coming to Pocket mobile later this year), which will make it simpler to organize saved content. <\/p>\n\n\n

Pocket iOS: A new home to quickly discover and save content<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For over a decade, Pocket has been a place where millions of users stay in the know without<\/em> falling into a rabbit hole. Our latest iOS update makes it easier to keep up to date while on the go with personalized recommendations and more discovery content, as well as an intuitive user interface so you can quickly catch up on topics you care about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since we first released Pocket on iOS in 2009, a tremendous amount has changed about what makes for a compelling app experience. We always knew at some point that in order to move forward, we\u2019d need to break new ground and start fresh. Last year, we made the decision to start over and build a new version of the iOS app with the goal of enabling quicker feature development as a primary objective. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

With the launch of the latest version of Pocket on iOS (available once you download iOS 16 on your iPhone), the redesigned app will be faster and simpler to use with a focus on a new Home<\/em> experience \u2013 a starting off point for visiting everything in Pocket, from your saved content to the articles and Curated Collections we think you\u2019ll love. We will be continuing to build on Home<\/em> to provide you with different perspectives on what you\u2019ve saved and what you\u2019ve discovered, as well as topics like Best of the Web<\/em>, Editors\u2019 Picks, In Case You Missed It, <\/em>and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The new redesign also includes a simplified navigation and settings screen, creating a more enjoyable user experience. The new Saves <\/em>tab (formerly My List<\/em>) will have an updated design, making it even more streamlined and giving Pocket users one place to access features like search, and listen, as well as to view your tagged items and favorites. We\u2019ve also made it easier to archive items with a swipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your favorite features are getting better<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

At the time of this release, you may have noticed that some features are missing. Fear not, friend! In a handful of cases\u2014e.g. the feature that allows you to highlight articles\u2014the Pocket product team is working hard to bring back the missing features to continue enhancing our user experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a few select cases, we did remove a feature from the app permanently in order to make room for new or improved experiences. For example: the feature that allowed you to make recommendations to other Pocket users to make way for the new Lists feature. Letting users share content is an important part of what makes Pocket useful, so we are actively investing on improving this experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the end of the day, all this means is that your favorite features just became a little faster and easier to use! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s next for Pocket on iOS? <\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Moving forward, Pocket on iOS will be updated every two weeks. In the next few months, we\u2019ll be bringing back the ability to create and view highlights on your saved articles, improving the quality of the articles that we recommend to you, and bringing additional functionality to our Listen feature, through which you can listen to your saved articles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pocket on the Web: Create your own Pocket Lists<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Starting today, users in the U.S. can create private lists on the web version of Pocket, where they can collect their saved articles, videos, and websites. Users will be able to create and manage multiple lists on their Pocket web experience, give them a title and description, add or remove items, and easily switch between lists as they browse their saved content. Pocket Lists make it easier to find and consume content that matters most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe new Pocket Lists<\/em> feature will offer users a more intuitive way to organize their content, and unlike tags, which can sometimes be difficult to manage, Pocket Lists provide a more structured approach to categorizing content,\u201d said Kait Gaiss, Pocket\u2019s head of product management<\/strong>. \u201cWe\u2019ve received many requests from Pocket users who wished to create Lists to organize their content, so we are excited to release this new feature to meet their needs.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some examples of Lists you can make include: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
