Introduction

In Pocket, Tags can help you organize the items that you've saved. Add multiple Tags to an item to organize your saves. 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.

Here are instructions for Tagging in Pocket on your Android device. Once added to an item, Tags appear beneath the title of the item in your List.

Renaming, Merging and Deleting Tags

To maintain a tidy Tags list, you can rename, merge, and delete Tags. To start, open the Pocket menu, select Tags, then tap the pencil icon at the top right corner.

Editing Tags

To rename a tag, tap the pencil button next to the tag you want to edit. To merge two tags together, change the name of one tag to be exactly the same as the other. Pocket will then combine both tags. To delete a tag, tap the trash can button. This will permanently delete the tag and remove it from all items.
