There is a reason why the circulation of newspapers and magazines have dwindled year after year. More and more people are consuming their news online, and reading articles on their mobile device. It is for this reason, Apple created Reader View for its Safari browser. Reader View cleans the webpage, making it easier to concentrate and focus on the information at hand. In iOS 9, Reader View got a few minor changes that should make current users pretty happy.
How to use the new options for Reader View in iOS 9
Reader View is available for certain webpages recognized with large amounts of text. Not all pages containing articles will have Reader View as an option. But for the pages that do, you will see the Reader icon in the left corner of the search bar. When your page is loading you’ll see, “Reader View Available” briefly appear in the search bar.
Enable Reader View by tapping on the icon. Once Reader View is enabled the icon will turn black. From here you can change the Font, Font Size, and Background color. Simply tap on the Aa (font icon) to access the menu.
Reader View was already pretty useful, but these new additions add basic functions that really should have been there in the first place.
