Tags make a great way to organize items in Pocket. Like folders, tags can be used to group your saved items into common topics or themes. Yet, they are more flexible, since a single item can have many tags.

For example, say you saved a recipe that you'd like to cook for dinner. You can tag it recipes, chicken, or dinner to find it later while shopping at the grocery store or cooking in your kitchen.

Once added to an item, tags appear in your List beneath the title.

Adding and Removing Tags

To add tags to an item, long-press an item in your List, and tap the Add Tags button. You'll then have the option to select existing tags or create new ones. Tap Save to save your changes and return to your List.

To remove tags from an item, repeat the steps above, and deselect the unwanted tag.

You can also add tags to multiple items at once by using Bulk Edit. Just select Bulk Edit in the overflow menu, after pressing the menu button, in the overflow menu, after pressing the menu button, select additional items, and tap the Add Tags in the toolbar.
