Android: Highlights

When a Bible passage resonates with you, highlighting it is a powerful way to capture its meaning. Using color to mark verses helps them stand out from the surrounding text, making it easier to find and reflect on them later.

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.
   1. The most recent colors are highlighted.
   2. Tap the button with multiple colors and swipe left to view the 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

In the Bible Reader, any verse that you’ve highlighted will display a Saved Verse Indicator (blue background) on the verse number. This indicator appears when you are using the same Bible version in which the Highlight was created. Clicking on the Saved Verse Indicator will display any Highlights you have added in the Saved tab.
