What is Reader on iPad?
Reader is a convenient feature available in the Safari app on your iPad that enhances your web browsing experience by decluttering webpages. Its primary function is to format a webpage to show just the relevant text and images, removing advertisements, navigation menus, and other distracting elements. This allows you to focus purely on the content you want to read.
How to Use Reader on Your iPad
Activating Reader mode is a straightforward process that takes just a few taps. Follow these steps to enjoy a cleaner reading view:
- Go to the Safari app on your iPad.
- Navigate to a webpage you wish to read.
- Once the webpage has loaded, look for the Reader icon in the address bar. While the exact appearance may vary slightly with iOS updates (often an "AA" button or a series of horizontal lines), it signifies the Reader View availability.
- Tap Show Reader.
Upon tapping, the webpage will instantly transform, displaying only the core content—text and images—in an easy-to-read format. You can often customize the font, text size, and background color within Reader View for an even more personalized reading experience.
