Enjoy reading and highlighting stories in the Medium iPhone app? Starting today, you can easily share your highlights with anyone right from your phone with just a tap:

Tap a highlight to share anywhere.

Here’s how it works: When you’re reading a story, just tap a sentence or a highlight to select it and then tap “Share.” We’ll package it up into an image with a link that you can then share via any of your favorite apps: iMessage, email, Facebook, Twitter, Slack — heck, you can even save it to your photos or print it out as a poster and put it on your wall.

Highlights also have a new look — featuring custom publication colors.

Highlights you share are also getting a fresh coat of paint. We’ve updated the visual design to put the highlighted text front and center, and even rolled in publication colors and logos to really make ’em pop.

Download Medium for iOS today to give it a try, and happy highlight sharing! PS — Coming soon to Android, and as always you can share a highlight from medium.com to Twitter.
