Send to Friend

Send to Friend is perfect for sharing your favorite items in Pocket with your friends and family. It's as easy as sending an email, but offers some great additional benefits like article excerpts, notifications, and more.

Sharing with Others
To share using Send to Friend, tap Share and select Send to Friend. Then, enter an email address for each recipient, add an optional comment, and tap Send.

After using Send to Friend, your two most recent recipients will be shown as buttons in the Share menu, making it even easier to share to your friends and family.

Adding a Quote
A quote from an article can also be included when using Send to Friend. To do so, open a saved item and highlight the passage you'd like to send with your message, and tap the "Share Quote to Friend" button in the top toolbar. Then, follow the same steps as described above.

Receiving Shared Items

When you receive shared items in Pocket, they arrive in your Pocket Inbox, where all of the items that have been shared with you are shown. For each item that is shared, you will have the option to either add the item to your list or ignore it.

You can view a list of all items shared with you in the Shared To Me list, which can be found in the Pocket Menu.

Share Notifications

When someone shares something with you using Send to Friend, a red badge will appear on the Pocket Menu button. In addition, Pocket will send a push notification as well as an email. You can configure notification options in your device Settings.
