Keep reading and find new books from across your apps

Whether you’re juggling eight books or looking to crack open a new one, literary adventures await in your Read collection. Discover new stories and continue those you’ve started listening to or reading – all from one place.

Not sure which story you want to delve back into today? Head over to your Read collection for a glance at your in-progress titles across apps.

Just tap “Open” above, or “Read” on the Play widget. If you don’t see “Read,” tap the widget to expand, then select “Read” up top. When you find your desired book, tap to automatically open the relevant app.

Get ideas for what to read or listen to next with relevant recommendations from across your apps. Whether it’s trending fan fiction on Wattpad, thrilling new true crime listens on Audible, or fantastic fantasy picks from Play Books, Collections makes it easy to quickly find your next great escape.

When it comes to audiobooks, you decide whether to include them in your Listen collection, Read collection, or both (the default setting). To adjust which apps’ content are displayed in a collection, open Collections, then tap your Profile icon > “Collections settings,” and choose the collection you want to edit. Select the apps whose content you want to view in that collection, and deselect any you want to exclude.

Collections is just getting started. We’re working to bring more content to Collections and will let you know when we partner with additional apps. Learn how to find more apps for your Read collection below.

It’s easy to access all your book apps from your Read collection – even the ones that do not show recommendations in Collections. Just tap the bottom bar, which displays your most recently used book apps.

Go to your Collections settings and tap on a row, like “Read.” There, you’ll see installed apps featured in that collection, as well other partnered apps. Tap on an app that has the install button to download it from Play.

For any app installed after you add Collections to your home screen, you’ll need to open it at least once in order for its content to show in Collections.
