We're excited to update you about the launch of a new Library experience.

The new Library experience enables users to:

- Choose which stories they wish to store to their device for offline reading

- Add and remove stories from their offline list directly from the Library

- View their offline limit and whether a story is available offline or online

Now, users can dive into their favorite Wattpad reads without worrying about internet connectivity or its associated charges as it helps users manage their device storage, by preventing the app from automatically saving all the stories in their Library on to their device. By giving users control over which stories they want to store for offline reading, we hope to create a more efficient Library management experience, while optimizing performance.

Note that Paid Stories in users' Libraries do not count towards the offline limit.

The new Library experience / Offline feature will be slowly rolling out to all Wattpadders, and over the course of the coming weeks, each one of you will eventually see this update. This new experience was designed and built for you—the members of our diverse, creative, and passionate community—and we can't wait for you to explore it for yourselves.

To read offline on your device, you must login and sync your library while you have an internet connection. Please wait until your library has fully downloaded.

To make sure the download is completed, check to see if the story covers are no longer faded. Once all of your stories have a bright cover, you will be able to read them when you are without internet.

It's unfortunately not possible to read stories offline on the web.

To add a story to your offline list, you can visit your Library and tap the download icon followed by "Add to Offline List" where the story is listed. You must be connected to the internet to add a story to your offline list.

To remove a story, go to your Library and tap the downloaded icon next to the story you wish to remove, followed by "Remove from Offline List".
