Samsung Galaxy S4: How to Enable and Use Reader Mode in the Internet App in Android 4.4 Kitkat

I like reading therefore when I have some spare times, I often use it for reading. Well, the best part of it is that my beloved phone, the Samsung Galaxy SIV, has some useful features that will facilitate me for reading in this phone, one of which is the reading mode that will adjust the screen settings automatically to make it more suit for reading. One of the apps available in my phone that I have added to the reading mode list is the Internet app because I always use this app to browse the webpages and then read the contents.

Aside from activating the reading mode for the Internet app, I usually use the reader mode in this app to make me easier reading the webpage contents. This feature will strip away other webpage components (e.g: widgets, header, frame, advertisement, etc) so that I can focus on what I'm reading.



How to enable and use the reader mode in the Internet app?
Below are the steps to do so:
  1. Open the Internet app.
  2. Enter the URL of a webpage you want to visit in the address bar and then tap Go.
  3. Once the webpage is fully loaded, tap the Reader mode icon located in the left side of the webpage address to enter into the reader mode.
  4. While you're in the reader mode, you can do the following actions:
    • : tap this option to increase the font size of the webpage you're reading.
    • : tap this option to decrease the font size of the webpage you're reading. This option will be available if you have increased the font size.
    • : tap this option to share a link to the webpage you're reading using the available share methods.
    • Enable or disable the night mode: you can do so by tapping the Menu key and then select Night mode. When the checkbox besides this option is checked means the night mode is enabled. When the night mode is enabled, the Internet app will reverse the webpage colors (the background becomes black and the text becomes white).
    • Save the webpage as image: you can do so by tapping the Menu key and then select Save as image. The webpage will be saved as .png file and then will be saved in the /storage/emulated/0/Internet/Reader/file_name.png or you can see the saved image in the Reader album in the Gallery app.
    • Zoom in: you can zoom in by tilting the device towards you or by double tapping the screen or by spreading two fingers apart on the screen.
    • Zoom out: you can zoom out by tilting the device backwards or by double tapping the screen or by pinching the screen.
    • : tap this option to quit from the reader mode.

Basically, there's also a reader-mode-like feature in other third-party browser apps. But, I like using the stock Browser app (Internet app) because it's ads-free and I don't need to install it by myself. So, how about you? Do you like using the reader mode feature while reading webpage contents in the Internet app?
