The iOS app for Wikipedia has been updated and released. As per this update, there are a lot of new capabilities and features. The version that has been released recently, offers an interface that has been redesigned along with an exploration focus. This is better than that of the fast checking feature that Wikipedia had used earlier. The update is also said to have the support for 3D Touch, support for Handoff etc.

The explore feed is the app’s biggest changes. This is a feed which gives you the benefit of viewing your contained in a tailored format based on the kind of interest you have in comparison to the generic or normal recommendations. Wikipedia hopes that with the help of the feed, it will help people to navigate easily. This means that the article reading will be more of learning and entertainment instead of only research.

This will help you to jump to the content directly. The support of Handoff helps you to go ahead and jump quickly between your various devices and your article reading.

The complete press release as well as the update change log can be found online which can give you an in‐depth detail.
