What's new.

• NEW
• Set up a new device and restore your whole library from iCloud.
• New Home Screen widgets: Currently Reading, Reading Hub, Reading Activity Rings, Quick Actions and a Reading Timer.

• Choose which actions appear in the Quick Actions widget.
• Ask Siri to log pages, start a reading session, open a shelf or find a book.
• Build your own automations in Shortcuts, including scanning a book by its barcode.
• A new What's New screen in Settings so you can catch up on every update.
• IMPROVED
• "Favourites" is now "Loved", and "Up Next" is now "To Be Read".
• Faster search with your recent searches ready to go, plus a Google Books fallback that finds the obscure titles.
• Search keeps working when Open Library is unavailable, instead of leaving you waiting.
• A search result that's already in your library now offers View in Library or Remove from Library.
• Alerts are now Liquid Glass cards that can take you straight to the book or undo what you just did.
• Swipe any past reading session to edit or delete it, and Edit is now front and centre in session detail.
• Delete confirmations spell out exactly what's being removed.
• Extended VoiceOver and Dynamic Type support.
• Better layouts on iPad and across every screen size.
• FIXED
• Setup saved the wrong daily pace — choosing Casual showed 15 pages a day but stored 5.
• The iCloud restore step was skipped if you backed out of adding books or importing from Goodreads.
• "Step x of y" during setup counted screens that had no progress dot.
• Placeholder and broken covers no longer show up as book covers in search results.
