Twitter recently received a design overhaul. And other than switching to rounded iconography, the iOS app also embraced Safari View Controller as its default in-app browser. So now, when you tap on a link, it opens in a Safari tab inside the app. Not only is this a familiar, safe and fast environment, all your website logins also work automatically. But we can take this one step further, using an Accessibility option.

What is Reader Mode?

Reader mode is Safari’s version of Pocket where an article is stripped of formatting, navigation and other elements. All you’re left with is the article text, links and images. It’s much easier to read. When this accessibility feature is enabled, any article you open will directly open in Reader mode (given that the website supports the Reader format). Here’s what it looks like.

How To Enable This Feature?

To enable this feature, first make sure you’re running the latest version of Twitter, with the redesign update. Then follow the steps below.

Step 1: From the timeline view, tap on the Profile icon in the top-left.

Step 2: From the sidebar, select Settings.

Step 3: From the Settings page, select Accessibility.

Step 4: From Accessibility section, swipe to the bottom and enable Open Links in Reader View.

Now when you tap on a link, it will directly open in Safari’s Reader mode as soon as it’s loaded.
