On March 21, 2023, Jetpack features will be removed from the WordPress app and will only be available in the Jetpack app.
If you’ve been using the WordPress app, you can switch to the Jetpack app to continue using your favorite Jetpack features, including Stats, Notifications, Reader, and more.
The Jetpack app is free to use. You can continue to use the same features you’ve been enjoying in the WordPress app at no cost.
Why are Jetpack features moving?
WordPress comes in more than one flavor and serves a diverse range of site administration needs. After listening to a lot of feedback around varying expectations, we settled on creating two options for you to WordPress on the go.
The WordPress app’s focus will shift to a closer-to-core publishing and site management experience.
The Jetpack app will have the same focus on publishing, but you’ll also have the added benefit of powerful site management and growth tools.

How to switch to the Jetpack app
To ensure a smooth transition, make sure you have the latest version of the WordPress app installed.
Once you download the Jetpack app, you’ll be “auto-magically” logged in with all your data and settings in place, including locally stored content, saved posts, and other in-app preferences.
After migrating to the Jetpack app, please uninstall the WordPress app. Managing your site across both apps is currently unsupported and may lead to issues like data conflicts.
Tip: If you have the latest version of the WordPress app installed, you’ll notice “Jetpack powered” banners at the bottom of some sections, including Stats, Notifications, and Reader. Tap one of those banners to see the option to “Switch to the new Jetpack app”. Follow the prompts to install the app from there.
