    A number of organizations within the Wikimedia movement including the Wikimedia Foundation publish official mobile apps for mobile access to Wikipedia. All are available via the appropriate app store (e.g. Google Play, App Store, Microsoft Store, F-Droid), KaiOS App Directory. They can also be downloaded independently of any third-party store from the Wikimedia Foundation's releases website, which also keeps old and beta versions.[1]

    Official apps

    Wikimedia Foundation

    Wikipedia apps from the Wikimedia Foundation are called "Wikipedia".

    Android

    The Android app allows users to read and edit articles directly from the app.[2] It is available on Play Store, Galaxy Store,[3] Aptoide,[4] Cafe Bazaar,[5] F-Droid,[6] and GetJar.[7] A separate app on the Play Store provides access to beta features that may not be available in the standard Wikipedia app.[8]

    In June 2025, a quiz game called Which Came First? was introduced to the app, which allows users to answer five questions regarding which historical event of two given events occurred first.[9][10] A feature called Year in Review that allows users to see the time and topics they spent reading for a given year was also introduced that year.[11]

    iOS 

    The iOS app also allows users to read and edit articles directly from the app,[12][13] similar to the Android app and mobile web version. It allows users to share an article via Facebook and other social websites, and to find geotagged articles near their current location.[14] It does not allow users to see categories or see the normal desktop version.[citation needed]

    Windows

    The Metro-style app provides a read-only version of Wikipedia, similar to the mobile web version. The app when used in Windows RT is incapable of showing moving pictures.[citation needed]

    KaiOS

    The KaiOS app was released in April 2024.[15]

    Kiwix

    Kiwix has developed a number of offline apps based on Wikipedia content.
