Recommending Stories in Pocket

The Discover feed is your single place to quickly find the stories that matter to you. These stories come from two places: Pocket’s recommendations that are sourced from the millions of items that are being saved to Pocket every day, and items recommended by the people you follow on Pocket.

How do I follow people on Pocket and see their recommendations?

You can see recommendations from people you follow in the Discover feature in our iOS and Android apps.

If you follow your friends and interesting people on Pocket, you’ll see their recommendations in your Discover feed alongside the ones from friends you follow. Your feed is ordered to ensure that you see a good mix of content that will be interesting to you.

To add people to follow, open your Discover feed in the iOS or Android app and tap the “Follow People” button. Here you’ll be able to connect your Twitter account to find others who you already know on Pocket, and we’ll also suggest some people who are already making great recommendations.

How do I save Recommendations to my list?

To save an item from your recommendations, just click or tap the Save button.

If you’ve opened an item from your recommendations on iOS or Android and have decided to save it, tap the + button in the toolbar.

How can I hide a Recommended item?

If a recommended item wasn’t interesting to you, if you’ve already read it elsewhere, or if you don’t think it belongs in your Discover feed for any other reason, you can hide it from your feed. Hiding items will help shape your Discover feed over time, helping Pocket deliver better suggestions that are more personalized to you.

To hide a recommended item, just click or tap the ●●● button, then select Report, and you’ll be able to tell us why you’d like to hide it.

How can I get more Recommendations?

Follow your friends and interesting people on Pocket! Your friends, tastemakers, and writers editors behind your favorite publications are all on Pocket and recommending great content.

Are Recommendations Available In My Language?

Recommendations are available in English at this time. We plan to make the Discover feature available in additional languages in the future.
