"Here in the land of Android, we've got an almost comical kind of first-world problem: So many new features fly our way so frickin' often that it's all too easy to overlook something interesting - or maybe just try it out a few times and then completely forget to keep using it. That latter path is exactly what happened to me with an exceptionally useful and off-the-beaten-path Android experience-enhancer."
"The feature of which we speak is a snazzy little somethin' called Android Reading Mode. Now, I'm not talkin' about the reading mode option built into the Android Chrome browser. Effective as that can be, it's limited only to articles you're reading within Chrome - and even within that environment, it's limited as to when and how it can be summoned."
"Few mere mortals even realize it, but in addition to that browser-based option, Google actually has an Android-wide Reading Mode addition. It exists somewhat awkwardly as a standalone app that you've gotta go out of your way to install. Once you do, though, it'll be seamlessly integrated into your system-level software - and you'll wonder how you ever lived without it."
Android devices receive frequent feature updates, which makes many useful features easy to overlook or forget after brief trial. Android Reading Mode is a separate, system-wide option distinct from Chrome's built-in reader. The Reading Mode requires manual installation as a standalone app and then integrates into system-level software. The feature creates a more pleasant pathway for ingesting information on a phone across apps, not just within Chrome. Activation is quick and simple, taking only about 30 seconds to get started. Enabling Reading Mode can noticeably improve daily reading and information consumption on Android.
