As you may have noticed, Wattpad recently rolled out an update that limits the number of books you can have downloaded at a time to one to three - unless you are a Premium user, then your number remains unlimited. However, before we get deeper into this, we will give you some background information.
Around May or June last year (2018), an experiment was conducted surrounding the offline reading experience. This experiment meant that those without Premium could not read offline at all. Luckily, this experiment was quickly ended, and offline reading was returned to all users. The text below was the official message that Wattpad sent out.
Over the next three weeks, Wattpad Premium will be rolling out an experiment around the offline reading experience for our users. This could mean that if you are not a Wattpad Premium user you will not be able to read all your saved stories offline during this trial. The good news is this will fix a lot of bugs and issues that you might not even be aware of.
Did you know that downloading every story into your library takes up storage space making your phone and the Wattpad app run slower? This new trial will help to control this to improve overall app performance for you. This should also help remedy library syncing issues!
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to the community team. Wattpad agents will be happy to help!
Fast forward to September 26th, 2019. Users whose app updated were faced with these three images as they launched Wattpad.
