#### Background
The iOS App has been transitioning from a primarily reader-focused app, to an app that also supports editing. We began adding opportunities for micro-contributions, with article descriptions in 2018. Since then, we have invested in building out [[ https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T274404 | notifications ]] and on-wiki communications in 2020, adding [[ https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T334212 | Watchlist ]] in 2023, and the [[ https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T355270 | Add an Image ]] suggested edit in 2024. As we have added these editing features, the navigation system of the app needs to grow and change to support them and future additions. Improving our navigation will allow for more app users to discover editing features, and allow experienced users quicker access to their most-used tools.
This first step of changing the navigation is part of the [[ https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Readers/2024_Reader_and_Donor_Experiences | Annual Plan WE3 ]], Our initial hypothesis (3.2.3) is that //If we make the “Donate” button in the iOS App more prominent by making it one click or less away from the main navigation screen, we will learn if discoverability was a barrier to non banner donations. If we make the “Donate” button in the iOS App more prominent by making it one click or less away from the main navigation screen, we will learn if discoverability was a barrier to non banner donations. //
####How will we know we were successful

####User Stories
- As a reader, I would like to be able to find the "donate" option easily, so I can quickly donate at the moment I'm feeling grateful for Wikipedia.
- As an experienced editor, I would like quick access to my watchlist in 2 or fewer clicks, so that I can quickly open my watchlist and monitor articles I care about from the App. (T371490)
