I don't think so, because the sections are lazy-loaded, and also discarded when the page is instantiated.

This also means that when you press the Back button, the sections are collapsed, and you lose the place where you just were.

All-around a terrible design and implementation from usability perspective, in my opinion.

The text itself isn't lazy-loaded – I can load any Wikipedia article, go offline, and still successfully expand all sections. Images are lazy-loaded, though, and while this has some merits, for the offline use-case this is equally somewhat annoying.

Also yes about the scroll position – while at least occasionally (possibly within the same session, but not if you're closing and later re-opening the whole browser) it seems like Wikipedia tries remembering which sections were opens and which were collapsed, it happens too late in comparison to the browser attempting the restore your scroll position. So if you had scrolled farther than you can scroll in the completely unepxanded state of the stage, your scroll position will be lost.

This definitely has not been the case for me. If I don't expand the sections while online, I can't do it when offline.

The app allows you to search within the article. Normally apps are a hard sell, but it's genuinely good

I like that it lets me save pages for offline reading

The desktop view!

Some people on mobile phones like the desktop view with timeless skin (add ?useskin=timeless to end of url).

E.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Border_between_Quebec_and_Newf... (assuming you arent autoredirected to mobile)

If I need to search, I get around this by just scrolling to the bottom of the article and uncollapsing each section from the bottom to the top. This ends up being very fast for most articles, because uncollapsing the lowest section won't move any of the previous sections, so you can tap through them quickly.

Surprisingly, there is a toggle for this in [hamburger menu] → Settings, or directly here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MobileOptions

(The toggle only appears on small devices, as on larger devices there is no section collapsing.)
