Reading activity for Yusuf, an illustrative profile.

From the library, choose View reading activity. Check the selected profile before reading the summary.

This example shows 0m, 0 reading sessions and 1 story opened after a short visit. Rounded zero minutes does not mean that no book was opened.

Stories opened is not a count of books finished.

Find your recent reading

Recent books show where this profile last read.

Recent reading shows each book’s title, saved page and last-read label.
Recent reading shows each book’s title, saved page and last-read label.

These reading records belong to the selected profile. They are separate from Quran task-completion reports in Review.

Continue reading in the library returns to the most recently read book for the selected profile. Check the title before continuing.

To return to a particular book, choose that book and use its own Continue control.

Choose who and where

Choose who is reading. Each reading profile keeps its own place in each book.

Home is the shared reading profile here; it is not the Home screen.

If Books asks “Continue where you left off?”, choose Continue as the named person to use that reading profile, or Read as Home to use the shared profile.

If a starting-place choice appears, This device and Your phone show different saved places. Choose where you want to continue.

These choices are conditional. They do not appear every time Books opens. The tutorial examples use the place saved on this device.
