Hit the break for the full changelog.
- Nearby with Maps! Tap the Nearby option in the navigation menu to see an interactive map with Wikipedia articles about locations near you, or anywhere else in the world.
- In Android 6.0, highlighting a word in any other app gives the option to search for it in Wikipedia.
- Deleting your browsing history will now also clear your open tabs.
- Updated link preview design
- Fixed a metric ton of bugs and crashes.
To install the update on your Android-powered smartphone simply open up the Play Store, toggle the hamburger menu by swiping in from the left-hand side of the screen, select ‘My Apps’ and click on Wikipedia, then tap the update button.
