Google Chrome is one of the best cross-platform web browsers, thanks to its dense feature set and customization options. In fact, Google keeps adding new useful stuff to Chrome to stay on top of the browser market share.
Although it takes some time for new Chrome features to roll out for all users, they are generally hidden behind simple flags that you can access and enable from the chrome://flags page. The same applies to Chrome’s new “Read Later” feature, which has been in the testing phase for a while now.
What it does is save websites that you wish to read later without the need to add them to your Bookmarks. The feature is currently hidden behind a flag on Chrome Android, Windows, Linux, Mac, and Chrome OS. this guide will show you how to enable it.

How to enable Read Later on Chrome?

First, make sure you are running the latest version of the Chrome browser on your device. Provided that you have installed the updated, perform these steps to enable the Read Later feature on Chrome:

• Go to chrome://flags/ from the URL bar in the Chrome browser.
  

  

• Next, type in “Read later” in the search field at the top of the Chrome Flags site.
  

  

• Click or tap the drop-down box next to or under the Reading List option, then select Enabled.
  

  

• Finally, click or tap the Restart or Relaunch option depending on the device you are using Chrome on.
  

  

Once the Chrome tab closes and relaunches, it should enable the Read Later feature. Note that you must enable the Chrome flag separately if you use the browser on multiple devices.
However, upon enabling the feature, your reading list will sync wherever you are signed in to Google Chrome.

Adding sites to the Chrome Read Later list

Now that you have Read Later enabled in Chrome, adding pages to your reading list is just a matter of a few steps. Here’s what you need to do:

• First, head over to the site you wish to save for reading later.
• If you are on your phone, tap the three-dot kebab (⋮) icon on the top menu bar, then tap the bookmark star (☆) in the options.
  • On other devices, the bookmark star is situated next to the URL bar.
• Select the “Reading list” or “Add to reading list” option depending on what you see in the following menu.
  

  

Once you add the site to your reading list, you can access it from Chrome on all your devices, assuming you are logged in with the same Google account.

Accessing the Chrome Read Later reading list

To access your reading list on the Android version of Chrome, follow the below steps:

• Open the three-dot menu from the top, followed by tapping Bookmarks in the options.
