### General
#### Will there be an iOS version?
There is no iOS version, and there are no plans for one. Since iOS and Android apps do not share code, it is hard to port.
No. There is no iOS version, and there are no plans for one. Since iOS and Android apps do not share code, it is hard to port.
#### Will Tachiyomi ever be on the Google Play Store?
Google Play's content policy does not allow the APK based extension system to work. The content on some websites will lead to Google taking it down at some point, and Inorichi does not want to have to deal with it as they have stated [before](https://github.com/tachiyomiorg/tachiyomi/issues/1745#issuecomment-441208074).
#### Can Tachiyomi read Light Novels?
No. Tachiyomi is an image parser, not a text parser.
#### Can Tachiyomi stream Anime?
No. Any project that calls itself Tachiyomi that supports anime is **not affiliated with the main project**.
#### Can Tachiyomi sync between devices?
No.
#### How can I report Tachiyomi copycats on the Google Play Store?
If you are on desktop, fill out [this](https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/contact/takedown) form following [these](https://pastebin.com/08eeuJxH) steps.
#### Can Tachiyomi read Light Novels?
No. Tachiyomi is an image parser, meaning it cannot parse text.

#### How do I find a manga I am looking for?
Sometimes you can struggle to find a source that has the manga you are looking to read. Here are some tips to help you find it:
::: guide Tips to find your manga
1. Look up the manga on [Google](https://google.com/) or a manga database such as [MangaUpdates](https://www.mangaupdates.com/).
1. See if the manga has any alternate spellings or other title variations. Try searching again in your sources with the alternate titles you found.
1. If you still cannot find the manga in any of your sources, then try to search for an extension for the website you've found in step 1 in the [extensions](/extensions/) list.

#### If you find the manga on a specific scanlator or aggregator and they do have an extension
Download the corresponding extension, tap on it under <Navigation item="browse"/> → **Sources**, and then search for the manga there.
#### If you find the manga on a specific scanlator/aggregator and they do not have an extension
Check if adding the site as an extension has [already been requested](https://github.com/tachiyomiorg/tachiyomi-extensions/issues). If it hasn't been, you can [request it yourself](https://github.com/tachiyomiorg/tachiyomi-extensions/issues/new/choose).
#### If you find the manga on a specific scanlator or aggregator and they do not have an extension
Check if adding the site as an extension has [already been requested](https://github.com/tachiyomiorg/tachiyomi-extensions/issues) and that it is not on the list of extensions that will not be added back [here](https://github.com/tachiyomiorg/tachiyomi-extensions/issues/3475). If it has not been requested and it is not on the list, you can [request it here](https://github.com/tachiyomiorg/tachiyomi-extensions/issues/new/choose).

### Reader
#### Why are some images not displayed?
Aside from network issues, it could be because the images are too big or that the decoder does not support that image type.
Aside from network issues, sometimes Tachiyomi does not register the image as existing, exit and re-enter the reader to fix this.
#### Will there ever be a dual-page reader option?
The logic required to make a dual-page reader automatically work along with scanlator page inconsistencies and other issues means it is unlikely to be added at this time.

#### How do I download several chapters or manga simultaneously?
The app does not allow parallel downloads from one source to prevent IP bans caused by too many requests. We know that speed is being sacrificed, but it is better than an overall inaccessible source.
However, if you download several manga from different sources, the app will start downloading simultaneously from up to five different sources, provided the chapters are in the top five of the queue.

#### Why do my downloads sometimes stop midway through?
It is likely an issue to do with your connection to your network or the source. Tachiyomi will notify you of what error it has encountered trying to download.
#### How do I cancel or change the download queue?

#### I am having problems installing an extension; what can I do?
In some cases, your device might have some issues downloading and automatically installing an extension. In those cases, you can manually download and install the extension yourself. Go to the [extension list](extensions/), find the extension you want, and tap **Download**. Once the .apk file has been downloaded, use your file manager to find it and open it. A prompt to install it as an app should pop up. Once it is done installing, it will be automatically added to Tachiyomi as a source.

#### What do `Page list is empty` and `Source URL has changed` mean?
