Bookmarks on Android

Updated 1 week ago by Zizoh Anto

When you discover a Bible passage you know you’ll want to return to again and again, mark it with a Bookmark. And, because Bookmarks lets you add labels, they’re a great way to organize passages into categories for specific purposes, such as verses you want to memorize, verses you want to have handy for a Bible study meeting, saving passages used in a sermon that you’re listening to, etc. Bookmarks can also be used as markers to help you keep track of where you left off in a certain chapter.

When you Bookmark a passage, it is only Bookmarked in the Bible version you currently have selected.

Using Labels With Bookmarks

Labels are a very helpful way to organize, filter, or group bookmarks.

For example, you can create a label called "Romans" and add all the bookmarks related to the book of Romans. Another example is to create a label called "love" and add all the verses that mention love.

You can also create a label with a month's name and add all the bookmarks added during that month.

How To Delete Or Edit A Label From Your Label List

  • You cannot edit your label list but you can edit bookmarks.
  • If you misspell a label or want to change a label name, just filter your bookmark list by that label, delete the label, add the new label. The old label will disappear from the list.
