Hello mobile Wikimedians, Today we've released a *major* update of the Wikipedia app to the app store: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/wikipedia/id324715238?mt=8
This update includes our most requested feature: dark reading mode! Its just one of several new appearance options, including dark and sepia color modes, image dimming and convenient screen brightness control. This release also includes a new "On this day" card in the Explore feed for four initial languages (English, German, French and Swedish). On this day is built on the rich anniversary pages[1] and selected anniversaries[2] available on many Wikipedias, to highlight important events that occurred on this date. Tap through for a timeline view and swipe back through history! The update also includes a small sticker pack for iMessage. We worked with the Wikimedia Foundation's Communications team to create a set of public domain stickers[3], so you can send wiki memes in texts. Now you can tell your friends "citation needed!" in a group chat :) Thanks to our testers and translators. And mega thanks to users yangand and julbod for their code patches. Thanks, Josh Minor PM, Wikipedia app for iOS [1] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_historical_anniversaries [2] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Selected_anniversaries/All [3] - https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikipedia_digital_stickers
