We regularly ask you, our readers, what we should improve and which functions you would like so that you can make even better use of our offers.
Probably the most popular feature in these surveys was a watch list that you can use to save articles so that you can read them later.
We are all the more pleased to be able to make this function available to you with immediate effect.
On our start page and other overview pages you will not only find the bookmark icon for the watch list. In the course of the renovation, we have revised the teasers. The symbols are new, whether it is text, audio, photo series or video content. In addition, the indication of the reading time is new, which gives you an indication of how extensive an article, podcast or video is.
In order to be able to use the watch list, you have to log into your SPIEGEL account or register free of charge first.
The wish list is just one of the numerous advantages of the account - you can find out more in this article.
The new functions are available in the SPIEGEL app after the app has been updated.
If your app is not updated automatically, you can manually update it here in the iOS app store for iPhones and iPads and here in the Play Store for Android apps.
How to add items to your watch list
Simply click or tap the bookmark icon to add items to your watch list.
On the home page and other overview pages you will find the bookmark icon at the bottom right of the article teaser.
In the article you will also find the icon below the teaser (but on the left there) - or, if you are in our SPIEGEL app, in the app header at the top of the screen.
When you have successfully added an item to your wish list, you will receive a short notification.
In addition, the bookmark icon fills up, i.e. it is active - so you know at a glance whether an item is already in your watch list.
If you click or tap the bookmark symbol again, you can remove an item from your watch list.
Here, too, you will receive a notification and the icon will return to its original state.
How to find your watchlist
You can find the watch list in the "For me" section.
You can get to this on the desktop via the "For me" icon on the far right in the top bar.
You can find this symbol in the central navigation bar on your mobile device or in the app.
In the "For me" area, the watch list is the first sub-item.
Your last saved articles will be displayed first.
However, you can also go directly to the watch list when you receive notification that you have successfully saved an item.
The notification message contains a direct link to the watch list.
Your personal watch list works across all devices - all you have to do is log into the various devices that you use.
How to manage your watch list
You can remove individual items from the watch list using the bookmark symbol.
If you want to empty the entire wish list, simply click or tap on the "Remove all items" link, which is located directly above the first item in your wish list.
We hope that you like the new watchlist function.
