Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the notification bar not appear if I have a copied URL?

The notification bar that appears when Pocket detects a copied URL will only be shown once. Therefore, if you miss it, it will not be shown again unless you perform these actions:

  1. Copy a different URL
  2. Open Pocket
  3. Copy the first URL that you originally tried to save
  4. Open Pocket again and look for the notification bar
