Add Page to Reading List for Offline Access in Chrome iPhone & iPad

Chrome iOS has many features, including the Reading list, where you can add links to the pages you want to read later. These links are stored under the Reading List tab and sync across the devices signed in with the same Google account—the option to add links to the reading list is available under the Share button.

Chrome iOS offers a great feature called Read Later that allows adding incompletely read pages for later reading. All the read-later marked pages will be added to Reading List that we can easily manage.

The reading list also supports offline download and reading. Offline reading is a great way to keep the pages active when not connected to the internet. We can print the pages and save them as PDFs for offline storage.

In the following article, I’ve mentioned how to add pages to the reading list and also manage the reading list in Chrome iOS.

Add Page to Reading List

Adding pages to the reading list can significantly help if reading is your favorite hobby. Due to some issues, you can save time offline or off the internet. To create a reading list, one should know how to add a page to the reading list in Chrome iOS.

Here are the steps to add a page to the reading list:

1. Launch the Chrome App on iOS.
2. Open a web page for offline reading.
3. Tap on the Share icon for more options.
4. Select the Read Later option from the list.
   
5. The page will be added to the Reading List tab.
   
6. Now, tap on More at the bottom for the options menu.
7. Select the Reading List options menu from the list.
   This will display all the pages added to the reading list.
8. Tap and hold the page for more Page options.
9. Select the View Offline Version in New Tab from the options list.
   

This will open the reading list page in offline mode. You won’t need the internet to read the offline page. This offline page is a simple reader-mode page that consumes very little data.

Remove Pages from Reading List

Sometimes, you wish to remove a page from your reading list since you no longer need it. To achieve that, one should know how to remove pages from the Chrome iOS reading list.

Here are the steps to delete the pages from the reading list:

1. Launch the Google Chrome browser on iOS.
2. Tap on More and select the Reading List options menu
   
3. Hit on the Edit command button at bottom,
4. Select the checkbox from Reading List.
5. Hit on the Delete command button.
   

The selected page will be removed from the reading list, and the offline download will be cleared from the storage.

Bottom Line

The reading list or read later is a fantastic feature that allows us to continue reading the pending articles or web pages when in a hurry. Like Chrome iOS bookmarks, the reading list can be added and removed per our needs.

Unlike bookmarks, the reading list has a feature to auto-download the pages for offline access. You can view the offline version by simply following the steps mentioned above. The read later is a helpful feature for someone like me who is always busy reading something. It helps me stay occupied and devote my time to reading even when not online.

Similarly, we can download the web pages for offline reading in a Chrome computer browser. These files can be stored and shared with anyone.
