• We released the Profile menu into the Beta version of the App! This is the first phase of the larger Navigation refresh. Profile gives you quick access to Watchlist, Notifications, Talk Page, and more from the Explore tab, and while reading an article. Several items that previously lived in Settings have now been moved into the Profile Menu. Future improvements will continue to be made to the Profile Menu, and it will eventually be accessible throughout the app, so we appreciate you testing it out and leaving feedback on the discussion page.
