Permanent Archive and Premium Price Change

Instapaper
Today, we're launching Permanent Archive, an Instapaper Premium feature that ensures you will always have access to the content you save. That means articles you read, highlight, and create notes on will always be accessible to you, even if they disappear from the Internet.
Permanent Archive is available today for all Instapaper Premium customers. Your articles have already been permanently archived as part of the feature launch.
Premium Price Change
We are increasing the price of Instapaper Premium from $3/month ($30/year) to $6/month ($60/year). This will be our first price change to Instapaper Premium in 9 years. We're making this change for the following reasons:
  • Increased Investment: We've heard from many of you that you want faster feature development in Instapaper. Our new pricing will allow us to hire more engineers so we can deliver more features faster.
  • Advanced Premium Features: Many customers are asking for additional Premium features like Permanent Archive, enhanced text-to-speech voices, automatic organization, and summarization tools. We're excited to build these features, and they will require additional infrastructure to operate. The new pricing ensures we can deliver them while maintaining a self-sustaining business.
  • Minimizing Price Changes: We're proud that Instapaper Premium pricing has remained consistent since 2014. When considering this price change, we wanted to ensure we won't need to increase the price for the foreseeable future.
The new pricing goes into effect for Instapaper Premium renewals starting January 1st, 2024.
Premium for Students
We're also launching Instapaper Premium for Students, which will be available at the previous price of $3/month or $30/year. To qualify please write in to support@help.instapaper.com with your name, date of graduation, and a copy of your student ID.
As always, please feel free to reach out with any feature requests, questions, or concerns to support@help.instapaper.com.

Note Search, Article Notes View, Notion Integration, and More!

Instapaper
Hi there!
We are trying something new by sending product updates via email in addition to posting on our blog. This is our second product update email, and our last time including this disclaimer. If you'd prefer to not receive these updates, you can unsubscribe here.
Today, we're launching our biggest updates to Notes since first introducing it on Instapaper. New features include Note Search, Article Notes View, an integration with Notion, and more!
Note Search
We finally added the ability to search the full-text of your highlights and notes on Instapaper. To search, navigate to the Notes section, tap the search bar, and enter your query.
On web we're launching Advanced Note Search that allows you to filter by website domain, article title, or author.
Note Search is available with Instapaper Premium, and is currently launched on iOS, macOS, and Web.
We're offering a free month of Instapaper Premium through November if you'd like to trial Note Search and other Premium features.
Article Notes View
When reading an article in Instapaper, you can easily see the notes for that article in one place by tapping "View Notes" in the article options menu.
Tapping a note will take you directly to the note on the page. We also included the ability to share all notes directly from the Article Notes view, rather than requiring you to scroll to the bottom of the article.
Article Notes View is available on iOS and macOS.
Grouped Notes by Article
This has been a long-time feature request, and we're glad to finally launch grouped notes by article. By default, we will now show your notes organized by article on iOS and macOS. If you prefer the most recent notes first, you can tap the menu on the top right "…" and select "Sort by Recent".
Grouped Notes by Article is available on iOS and macOS.
Notion Integration
We're happy to announce our integration with Notion for sharing your liked articles and notes from Instapaper to Notion.
When you link your Notion account, Instapaper will create an Instapaper page containing an "Instapaper Articles" database. As you like articles and create notes, Instapaper creates one page per article in your database.
Each article page will contain all of the notes you've created for that URL.
Other Features & Improvements
We've also launched a few more features & improvements in this release:
  • Redesigned Note options menu to be faster and better designed.
  • Brought back "Shuffle Sort" after receiving many requests since removing it in the previous release.
  • Fixed "Share All Notes" not showing for email saves on iOS.
  • Fixed issues with language detection for text-to-speech.
  • Added scroll to top shortcut on macOS (Cmd+Shift+↑).
  • Other minor fixes and improvements.
As always, our roadmap is informed by your feature requests and bug reports. If you have any feature requests, questions, and/or issues, please let us by responding to this email.

Improved Organizing and Sorting Tools

Instapaper
Hi there!
We are trying something new by sending product updates via email in addition to posting on our blog. If you'd prefer to not receive these updates, you can unsubscribe here.
We just launched updates to improve Instapaper's organizing and sorting tools for iOS, macOS, and web. Features include drag & drop to reorder, sorting improvements, modern swipe actions, better integrations with Shortcuts on iOS, and more!
Drag & Drop to Reorder
This has been a common feature request, and we are excited to finally launch drag & drop reordering. It's now easier than ever to manually organize your articles to their desired position.
Drag & drop is available on iOS, macOS, and web.
Sorting Improvements
On web, we launched a toggle to let you sort by oldest articles, instead of only by newest articles. To sort by oldest, navigate to your Instapaper email on the top right, and click "Oldest First" in the dropdown.
On iOS and macOS, we still offer all seven sorting options, but now the chosen sort option persists between sessions.
We also redesigned the article list menu to be more modern and inline with iOS and macOS system menus.
Modern Swipe Actions
Managing your articles on iOS is now more seamless with modern swipe actions. Simply swipe left or right to access a number of actions including Archive, Move to Folder, Share, and more.
Swipe actions are fully customizable in Settings > Swipe Actions, and you can set different swipe actions for short or long swipes. If you decide you prefer the classic swipe actions, you can still enable those in Settings > Swipe Actions.
Lastly, long pressing an article will now show a full list of article options including Like, Move, Archive, Delete, Redownload, Edit, Send to Kindle, and Share.
Improved Siri, Search, and Shortcuts Integrations
We've launched a number of "intents" that improve Instapaper's integration with Siri, Search, and Shortcuts.
For instance, you can open your most recent article by saying "Hey Siri, Open Last Article in Instapaper". You can open a folder by saying "Hey Siri, Open Folder in Instapaper", and then saying the folder name when prompted.
Save to Folder Email Addresses
We recently launched Save to Folder email addresses, which let you send articles to an Instapaper email address to save directly to a folder. You can find a full list of your Save to Instapaper email addresses at instapaper.com/save/email
Other Features & Improvements
We've launched a number of other smaller features, improvements, and bug fixes in this release including:
  • Haptic feedback on iOS. We added these sparingly, but if you find them distracting, you can disable them in Settings > Advanced > Haptic Feedback.
  • Shake to undo archiving an article.
  • Link previews when long pressing links when reading.
  • Share All Notes will now always share in the order appearing in the article.
  • Fixed pagination display issues on iPad after rotating.
  • Fixed crashes when highlighting on iOS 17.
  • Fixed some crashes on macOS.
Next Up: Notes & Android
This year, we've been focused on improving several key features for Instapaper. In our last release, we improved text-to-speech, including voice selection and launched a CarPlay app. This release is focused on improved organization and article management tools.
Our next release will be focused on improvements to Notes. If you're using Notes, please let us know any feature requests you'd like to see us add in the next release.
We've been behind on our Android app, but recently brought on someone to help update the app to the latest Android frameworks. Afterwards, we'll be working toward feature parity with iOS.
As always, our roadmap is informed by your feature requests and bug reports. If you have any feature requests, questions, and/or issues, please let us by responding to this email.

Uppdatering av policyn för inaktiva Google-konton

Google arbetar ständigt med att skydda dig och dina privata uppgifter genom att förhindra obehörig åtkomst till ditt Google-konto med hjälp av vår integrerade säkerhet. En del i att skydda dig är att ha en robust integritetspraxis i våra produkter som begränsar hur länge vi lagrar dina personliga filer och eventuell tillhörande data. Vi vill skydda dina privata uppgifter och förhindra obehörig åtkomst till ditt konto även om du inte längre använder våra tjänster.

Därför uppdaterar vi inaktivitetsperioden för Google-konton till två år för alla våra produkter och tjänster. Ändringen lanseras från och med i dag och gäller för alla Google-konton som har varit inaktiva – alltså konton som ingen har loggat in på eller använt under två år. Ett inaktivt konto och allt innehåll i det kan raderas från och med 1 december 2023.

Vad detta innebär för dig:

  • Dessa ändringar påverkar dig bara om du inte har varit aktiv på Google-kontot på två år eller inte har använt ditt konto för att logga in i någon Google-tjänst på över två år.
  • Ändringarna träder i kraft i dag. Det tidigaste datumet vi kan ta bort ett konto är december 2023.
  • Om ditt konto anses vara inaktivt skickar vi flera påminnelsemeddelanden till både dig och dina återställningsadresser (om du har angett några) innan vi vidtar några åtgärder eller raderar något kontoinnehåll. Påminnelserna skickas ut minst åtta månader innan någon åtgärd vidtas för ditt konto.
  • När ett Google-konto har raderats kan Gmail-adressen för det raderade kontot inte användas igen när du skapar ett nytt Google-konto.

Hur ser du till att ditt konto förblir aktivt?

Det enklaste sättet att hålla ett Google-konto aktivt är att logga in på kontot minst en gång varannan år. Om du har loggat in på ditt Google-konto under de senaste två åren anses ditt konto vara aktivt och raderas inte.

Du kan även hålla kontot aktivt genom att bland annat

  • läsa eller skicka e-post
  • använda Google Drive
  • titta på en YouTube-video
  • dela ett foto
  • ladda ned en app
  • använda Google Sök
  • logga in i en app eller tjänst från tredje part med Logga in med Google.

Det finns några undantag från denna policy. Exempel: ett Google-konto med YouTube-kanaler, videor eller kommentarer, ett konto som innehåller ett presentkort med ett saldo eller ett konto som har en publicerad app, till exempel ett konto som står värd för en app i Google Play Butik. Andra undantag från den denna policy finns här.

Google erbjuder även verktyg som hjälp för att hantera ditt Google-konto och ger dig möjlighet att säkerhetskopiera din data, inklusive att ladda ned din data med Google Takeout och att planera vad som ska hända med din data om du är inaktiv under en viss tidsperiod med hjälp av Hantering av inaktiva konton.

Det är viktigt för oss att göra det så enkelt som möjligt för dig att hålla ditt konto aktivt som du vill, och vi ser till att du blir förvarnad i god tid innan något av dina konton påverkas av ändringen. Därför skickar Google e-postaviseringar till Google-kontot och återställningsadressen (om sådan har angetts) innan kontot raderas. Kontrollera att återställningsadressen är aktuell.

Vänliga hälsningar,
Googles kontoteam

Vi har skickat detta e-postmeddelande för att informera dig om viktiga ändringar i ditt Google-konto eller för Googles tjänster.
