Library FAQ
Learn how to manage, customize, and update your personal collection of manga and light novels in Wammy.
How do I switch between Manga and Novels in the Library?
By default, Wammy separates your collection into dedicated bottom dock tabs for Novels and Manga (Library).
If you prefer to see both manga and novels unified inside a single library interface, navigate to: Settings > Library > Joined Library and toggle the switch. Wammy will combine them into one seamless view with category tabs across the top.
How do I check for new chapters?
- Manual Update: Pull down from the top of your Library screen to trigger an immediate update check across all tracked series.
- Automated Background Updates: Configure scheduled automatic checks in Settings > Library > Automated library updates. You can choose intervals (e.g. every 6 hours, 12 hours, or daily) and restrict updates to Wi-Fi only or when your device is charging.
What display modes and grid layouts are available?
Tap the three-dot menu in the Library toolbar and select Display Mode to customize your grid layout:
- Compact Grid: Maximizes screen space, showing dense cover cards with titles below.
- Comfortable Grid: Adds extra breathing room, displaying unread chapter counts, download status pills, and larger cover thumbnails.
- List View: Displays series in horizontal rows with comprehensive metadata, latest chapter title, and category assignments.
- Grid Size: Adjust the number of columns per row individually for portrait and landscape orientations.
How do I batch-edit or reorganize multiple series?
Long-press any series card in your Library to enter Multi-Selection Mode:
- Tap additional cards to select them, or tap Select All.
- Use the bottom action bar to:
- Move selected series into one or more categories.
- Download all unread chapters in bulk.
- Mark chapters as read or unread.
- Delete downloaded files to free up internal storage.
- Remove series completely from your library.
How do unread badges and download indicators work?
- Unread Badge: A small pill badge on the corner of the cover showing how many unread chapters remain.
- Download Badge: Indicates how many chapters are saved offline on your device storage for reading without an internet connection.
- You can toggle badge visibility in Settings > Library > Badges.
