iOS
[change | change source]The iOS app also provides a read and write version of Wikipedia,[6] similar to the mobile web version. It allows users to share an article via Facebook and other social websites. It also allows users to find geotagged articles near their current location. It does not allow users to see categories or see the normal desktop version.[source?]
Windows
