Troubleshooting Questions

I have to log in to my Pocket account each time I save from Pocket Hits in Safari on iOS. How can I prevent this?

Pocket uses browser cookies to keep you logged in so you can save articles from Pocket Hits directly to your list. If you are asked to log in each time you try to save an article, it’s possible that you’re using private browsing or incognito mode in your browser where cookies are not saved. This prevents the browser from remembering your Pocket account, so you must remind it each time. Fortunately, this is easy to fix. You can simply disable the private browsing mode. See this Apple Support article to learn how to turn off private browsing in Safari.

I am subscribed to Pocket Hits but have not received them in my inbox. What’s going on?

There's a few reasons why you might not be receiving Pocket Hits:

  • Pocket Hits emails might be landing in your junk or spam folder. Please check your junk or spam folder to make sure they weren’t filtered by accident.
  • Add "[email protected]" to your address book to prevent the emails from filtering to spam or junk.
  • Additionally, you may need to add "[email protected]" to your email service's safe senders list. Check your email provider's help center for information about adding Pocket Hits to your safe senders list.

If you still can’t find them, please contact Pocket Support and we’ll be glad to help.
