Thanks to your feedback, we’ve made Aloha Browser smoother and more intuitive on Android. Here are five updates that put more control at your fingertips and save you time every day.

#### 1\. Long-press Back/Forward for quick history

Tired of tapping Back a dozen times? Long-press the Back or Forward button to open a context menu with your tab’s recent history. Jump straight to the page you need — no extra taps.

#### 2\. Full-screen video, one tap away

No more hunting for tiny video controls. A dedicated full-screen button now lives in the media toolbar whenever you play videos. Tap once, enjoy instantly.

![Now you can share images without downloading](https://storage.ghost.io/c/9b/e8/9be874bd-0377-40be-b16f-9c460166ff13/content/images/2025/10/Aloha-browser-on-android-reduce-fast-Sharing.png)

#### 3\. Share or copy images instantly

Long-press any image on a webpage to **Share** or **Copy** \- without downloading first. Sending a meme, saving a recipe, or pasting into notes is now just one step away.

#### 4\. Reader Mode, cleaner and smarter

Reader Mode now detects article content more accurately and strips distractions more reliably. The result: cleaner typography and a calmer reading experience when you want to focus.

![Now Aloha Browser on Android requres less storage space](https://storage.ghost.io/c/9b/e8/9be874bd-0377-40be-b16f-9c460166ff13/content/images/2025/10/Aloha-browser-on-android-reduce-Size.png)

#### 5\. Smaller app size, same power

We’ve trimmed Aloha’s footprint on your device, freeing up storage for downloads, photos, and apps without cutting any features.

These updates are all about faster, simpler, more enjoyable browsing.
