Android: Highlights

When a Bible passage speaks to you, Highlighting is a great way to remind yourself of its significance. 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.

Highlight a Bible Passage

1. Select the Bible tab if it hasn’t been selected already.
2. Locate and select the Bible verse(s) you want to highlight.
   Dotted underlines will appear beneath the selected verses. A list of options will display at the bottom.
3. Select the color you want for your Highlight.
   The two recently used colors are highlighted. Tap the button with multiple colors and swipe left to view the five available colors.
   Anyone on your YouVersion Friends List will see your Highlights activity on their Community feed or when they look at your Profile.

View Your Highlights

1. Tap your Profile Picture (or Initial) from the Home screen or ≡ (More), then select Highlights. All your Highlights are listed, from newest to oldest. You can also view Highlights by locating the highlighted verse(s) on the Bible tab.
