Wikipedia on Android is making it easier for you to do your research with its latest update. There’s now a preview pop-up feature that shows you a snippet of information and a few images of a particular article, while reading one of Wikipedia’s entries. You can opt to click through and read the rest of the entry or go back to your original search. The app also now supports tabbed browsing so you look through different research threads without losing track of anything. Wikipedia now also has a quick language switcher button as well, which you can access once you’ve tapped in the “Search Wikipedia” box.

The Wikimedia Foundation plans to bring the preview feature to iOS soon and “is exploring” bringing the feature to mobile web as well.
