The Pocket Menu

Pocket’s Menu button is located at the top left corner of the screen. It helps you reach all areas of the app.

Here is a brief explanation of each menu item:

Highlights
The Highlights feature creates automatic categories containing the best and most popular items in your List.

Highlights appears once there are enough items saved to your List. If Highlights is empty for you, just continue saving items and it will appear soon.

My List
When you save an item to Pocket, it will appear in your List. The List is sorted from newest to oldest by default, but you can reverse the order in Settings.

Content Filters
There are three ways to filter your List: Articles, Videos, and Images. Each will show that particular type of content and hide the rest.

Shared to Me
This section lists items that have been shared with you using Pocket’s Send to Friend feature.

Tags
Tags make a great way to organize items in Pocket. Selecting a tag from the Tags menu will filter your List to only show items with that particular tag.

Favorites
You can mark any important item as a Favorite. The Favorites list includes items from both your List and Archive.

Archive
The Archive is a great place to keep items that you may want to revisit in the future.

You can find more information about Highlights, Send to Friend, Tags, Favorites, and the Archive in the Help menu.

Tile and List View

Pocket on Android tablets can display your List in two ways. The default view is called Tile View, and shows your List as tiles in a grid. These tiles change dynamically to showcase images. List View on the other hand, displays your items in a simple list.

To switch between Tile and List View, open the overflow menu in the top toolbar, and tap Switch to List View or Switch to Tile View. press the Tile/List button in the top toolbar, and select Tile or List.
