I would absolutely love to download all of the Wikipedia articles in English onto my phone (I have 100gb free). I find I never have the articles I want downloaded onto my phone when I find myself lacking wifi or cell service. If images/other media take up too much space, perhaps a text only version of each article would do.

Another OTRS Feature request around this:
I recently read some things about downloading all of current Wikipedia onto a mobile device, but sadly it looks like it is only possible for android. I am wondering if it is possible to download a copy of Wikipedia on iOS (my phone software platform). If not, could you maybe consider adding an in-app function that would do this? It would be very convenient to be able to read Wikipedia offline in-app instead of some other file storage system. I also think that a feature to download standalone articles for offline reference would be very helpful. In addition, downloading articles of a certain category would also be very helpful. For example, I am very interested in Space, so it would be extremely helpful to be able to download all articles about space as I could enjoy reading them without worrying about access to the internet.

Please provide an option for users to download Wikipedia (full or top
pages) for offline use and automatically load the offline results if the
live connection is too slow or not working.
It would be nice if we could download the full Wikipedia, though. Now that people have 1TB or 512GB phones, it can come in handy to have availability to all the world's knowledge offline. I know Kiwix offers this functionality, but not with the option to automatically load live results when the connection is strong enough.
