iOS: Highlights
Highlighting marks Bible verses with color, making them stand out from the surrounding text, which helps you easily spot them again later. Highlights are only visible in the Bible versions to which they were added, not in all versions.
How To Create A Highlight
- Select the Bible tab on the bottom menu.
- Locate the Bible verse(s) you want to highlight.
- Select each verse you want to highlight. Dotted underlines will appear beneath the selected verse. A list of options will be displayed with highlight colors.
- Select the colors at the right edge to see more color options. Swipe left and right to see what's available.
- Select ⋯ to create a custom color.
View Your Highlights
- Bottom right: Select ≡ (More), Saved, Highlights. All your highlights are listed, from newest to oldest.
Share A Highlight
- Bottom right: Select ≡ (More), Saved, Highlights.
- Locate the highlight you want to share.
- At the bottom right of the highlight, select ⋯, then Share.
Change A Highlight To A Different Color
- Bottom right: Select ≡ (More), Saved, Highlights.
- Locate the highlight you want to change.
- Bottom right: Select ⋯, Edit.
Swipe left for more colors. To choose a custom color, swipe to ⋯ and select it.
Remove A Highlight
Removing a highlight does not delete the verse(s). It simply removes the highlight color.
- Bottom right: Select ≡ (More), Saved, Highlights.
- Locate the highlight you want to remove.
- At the bottom right of the highlight, select ⋯, then Delete.
You can also remove a highlight directly from the Bible text where you see it. Simply select the highlighted verse(s), then select the current highlight color that has an X in the middle.
