Highlights on Android

Updated 1 week ago by Zizoh Anto

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 has not been selected already.
  2. Locate and select the Bible verse(s) you want to highlight.
    Dotted lines appear underneath each verse you select. A list of options is displayed beneath the selected verse(s).
  3. Select the color you want for your Highlight.
    Swipe left for more colors.
    Highlights are public and anyone on your YouVersion Friends List will see your Highlights activity on their Community feed or when they view 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.
    In the Bible tab, Highlights are only visible in the Bible version for which the Highlights were added.

Change a Highlight to a Different Color

  1. Bottom right: Select ≡ (More), then Highlights.
  2. Locate the Highlight whose color you want to change.
  3. At the bottom right of the Highlight you want to change, select , then Edit.
  4. Bottom: Select the new color you want for your Highlight.
    Swipe left for more colors.

Remove a Highlight

Removing a Highlight does not delete the verse(s). It simply removes the Highlight color.
  1. Bottom right: Select ≡ (More), then Highlights.
  2. Locate the Highlight you want to remove.
  3. At the bottom right of the Highlight, you want to remove, 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.
