The Official App for Wikipedia, the World's Largest Source of Information
The Ultimate Wikipedia Experience on Your Mobile Device
Free, Ad-Free, and Open Source
With the official Wikipedia app, you can access and explore over 40 million articles in 300+ languages, anytime, anywhere.
Why You'll Love the Wikipedia App
1. Free and Open
Wikipedia is an encyclopedia that anyone can edit. Articles are freely licensed, and the app code is 100% open source. Our community of volunteers is dedicated to providing you with unlimited access to free, reliable, and neutral information.
2. No Ads
Wikipedia is a place for learning, not advertising. This app is brought to you by the Wikimedia Foundation, a non-profit organization that supports and operates Wikipedia. We believe in providing open knowledge that is always ad-free and never tracks your data.
3. Read in Your Language
Search and read articles in over 300 languages. Set your preferred languages and easily switch between them while browsing or reading.
4. Offline Access
Save your favorite articles and read Wikipedia offline with "My Lists." Create custom lists and collect articles across different languages. Saved articles and reading lists sync across all your devices, even without an internet connection.
5. Attention to Detail and Night Mode
The app embraces Wikipedia's simplicity and enhances it with a beautiful and distraction-free interface. Adjust text size and choose from pure black, dark, sepia, or light themes for an optimal reading experience.
