We’ve made the difficult decision to shut down Pocket on July 8, 2025. Thank you for being part of our journey over the years—we're proud of the impact Pocket has had for our users and communities.

This article explains everything you need to know, including how to save your content, get a refund (if you're a Premium user), and what to expect next.

When is Pocket shutting down?

Pocket will no longer be available after July 8, 2025.

You can continue using the app and browser extensions until this date. After July 8, Pocket will move into export-only mode. Users can export saves anytime until October 8, 2025, after which user data will be permanently deleted.

Why is Pocket shutting down?

Pocket has helped millions save articles and discover stories worth reading. But the way people use the web has evolved, so we’re channeling our resources into projects that better match their browsing habits and online needs.

A Look Back: The Legacy of Pocket

What began as a read-it-later app evolved into something much bigger. After Mozilla acquired Pocket in 2017, we invested in building our content curation and recommendation capabilities so people everywhere can discover and access high quality web content. While Pocket is shutting down, we will continue to invest in this promise—through the New Tab experience, our email newsletter, and more.

Over the past eight years, we’ve:

Expanded high-quality content recommendations to more than a dozen countries and five languages.

Connected tens of millions of people across the world with stories worth their time and attention.

Earned recognition including a Webby Award for “Best of Pocket: 2020” and an Anthem Award in 2023 for supporting local journalism.

Published hundreds of curated collections on topics from fighting algorithmic bias to rethinking happiness.

While this chapter is ending, we're deeply proud of Pocket’s impact and grateful to every reader, saver, and explorer who made it special.

Account & Saves

How to export your saved articles

You will be able to export your saved articles, including items in your list, archive, favorites, notes, and highlights, until October 8, 2025. After this date, all user accounts and data will be permanently deleted.

You can learn more about exporting your saved content here.

Do I need to delete my account to protect my data? What happens if I don’t delete it?

You don’t need to delete your account. All Pocket user data will automatically be deleted on October 8, 2025. You can export your saves anytime before then from the Pocket export page.

Refunds for Pocket Premium Subscribers

How will refunds to Premium annual subscribers be calculated?

Pocket Premium refunds will be made on a prorated basis. This means the refund will be based on how much time was left in a subscription after July 8, 2025. We’ve arranged refunds to your original payment method based on your subscription type:

Monthly subscribers

We will begin disabling automatic renewal of monthly subscriptions immediately.

You can continue to enjoy the benefits of Pocket Premium until the end of the monthly subscription period.

You will not be charged again, so no refund will be necessary.

No action is required from you.

Annual subscribers

On July 8, 2025, Annual subscriptions will be cancelled and Annual users will receive a prorated refund automatically to the original payment method.

No action is needed from you.

Pocket Apps & Extensions

What will happen to the Pocket browser extensions?

The Pocket web extensions will no longer be available to install from May 22, 2025. Anyone attempting to use the Pocket extensions from this date will be taken to the Pocket export page.

Pocket browser add ons will remain on users' browsers after Pocket shuts down on July 8, 2025. Users have to manually remove the Pocket add on from their browsers.

For more information on how to remove an add on from their browser, users should visit their browser’s support pages.

More information for Firefox users on how to remove the Pocket add on is available here.

When will the app no longer be available on app stores?

Users who have never installed the Pocket app will not be able to install it after May 22, 2025.

Users who already have the app installed will be able to re-install it up to October 8, 2025.

Users who still have the app installed on their device will need to manually delete it.

Pocket API Use

How are API users going to be impacted?

Any product that leverages Pocket’s API will no longer be able to load users’ lists, or save, tag, or delete articles.

Will API users be able to continue using Pocket after it shuts down?

API users will no longer be able to transact data (read or write) over Pocket’s API from October 8, 2025 and will need to export their data before this date.

Pocket Hits

What’s happening to Pocket Hits?

Our email newsletter, currently known as Pocket Hits, will soon be renamed “Ten Tabs”. While the name is changing, the heart of the newsletter remains the same—expertly curated, trustworthy content delivered by the same editorial team you know and enjoy, now powered by Firefox.

All readers will be notified about the update through the newsletter itself, and no action is needed to continue receiving it.

Once the transition is complete, Ten Tabs will be sent Monday through Friday. The weekend editions will be discontinued, and the once-a-week delivery option will no longer be offered. Readers on the weekly schedule will only be moved to daily (weekday) delivery if they opt in. As always, you can unsubscribe anytime using the link at the bottom of each email.

Need help?

InVision Community,

Today I am writing to share that after careful consideration we have made the difficult decision to discontinue InVision's design collaboration services (including prototypes, DSM, etc) at the end of 2024. For important information, details, and guidance on next steps read our FAQs.

As you may know, our Freehand visual collaboration product was acquired by Miro earlier this fall. Miro has exciting plans for Freehand and will be communicating with Freehand customers directly moving forward.

We recognize the decision to end-of-life our design collaboration services will impact your creative process and workflows. We wanted to share our plans with ample notice so that you can plan accordingly.

In the coming months, the services you know and love will not be changing. For our Enterprise customers, our Sales team will be working with you directly to answer any questions you may have about this transition and direct you to alternative solutions, should they be required.

For our self-serve (non-Enterprise) customers, you will be able to continue using InVision until the end of 2024. However, we have discontinued our annual subscription offerings. Instead, you will be able to use the services on one of our monthly subscription options.

We understand that this announcement may be met with a spectrum of emotions, and we want to assure you that our primary focus is on making this transition as smooth as possible.

On behalf of all InVisioners, I want to convey our appreciation for the trust and support you've shown us. Your commitment to InVision has been our heartbeat for the last 12 years and we are genuinely thankful for the privilege of being part of your creative process.

We're so grateful to all of you who invested time and energy into making InVision the incredible company that it's grown to be. Together we reimagined how designers collaborate, raised the importance of design thinking, and, in the process, helped revolutionize the design industry.

And so we close this chapter with heartfelt gratitude and with the comfort that the state of the design industry is stronger than ever, leaving the InVision community in good hands.

Thank you once again,

Michael Shenkman

Dear Creative Cloud User,

We want to let you know about an upcoming change to your personal Creative Cloud account. Adobe is modernizing the Creative Cloud storage experience and will begin discontinuing Creative Cloud Synced files on February 1, 2024.

How this may impact you:

Files saved to Creative Cloud Files folder on your computer will no longer automatically sync with assets.adobe.com.

Files that are uploaded directly to assets.adobe.com or the Creative Cloud Mobile App will not be automatically copied to your computer.

Recommended actions:

If you do not save assets to the Creative Cloud Synced files, no action is needed.

Ensure your assets are properly backed up locally or to third-party cloud storage. It is important to emphasize that there will be no change to Creative Cloud Documents functionality. You can still save files as Creative Cloud Documents via applications such as Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator; these files will remain in sync across devices.

Dear Amazon Drive Customer, 

Over the last 11 years, Amazon Drive has served as a secure cloud storage service for Amazon customers to back up their files. On December 31, 2023, we will no longer support Amazon Drive to more fully focus our efforts on photos and video storage with Amazon Photos. We will continue to provide customers the ability to safely back up, share, and organize photos and videos with Amazon Photos. 

What this means for you:

You are receiving this email because you have files stored on Amazon Drive that are not supported by Amazon Photos. On December 31, 2023, you will no longer have access to Amazon Drive. Until then, you can continue to use Amazon Drive to manage your files.

If you rely on Amazon Drive for your file storage, you will need to go to the Amazon Drive website and download your files by December 31, 2023. As an Amazon customer your photo and video files have been automatically saved to Amazon Photos. Step-by-step instructions for downloading your files, managing your paid subscription, and resources for additional help can be found on our FAQ page.

As part of this process, on January 31, 2023, Amazon will no longer support uploading files on the Amazon Drive website. You will still be able to view and download files until December 31, 2023. 

You can continue to use Amazon Photos for backing up and storing photo and video files. The Amazon Photos app can be downloaded on iOS, Android, and Desktop. Prime members get free, unlimited full-resolution photo storage and 5 GB video storage. If you are not a Prime member, you get 5 GB of free storage for photos and video.

Thank you for being an Amazon customer.
