Open from the ayah

Context when you need it

Common questions
Know what will work offline.
Can tafsir be read without internet?
Yes, after the relevant supported tafsir content has been downloaded. Content that has not been downloaded still needs a connection.
Can I remove a downloaded tafsir?
Yes. Offline Tafsir settings show the status for each source and provide an option to remove downloaded content.
Is Quran audio also available offline?
The current audio player streams recitation and requires a connection. Offline tafsir and streamed audio are separate features.
