How does the daily “why” work? Every day the app shows a single piece of trivia. It’s the same for everyone: it won’t change if you reopen the app multiple times the same day.
What is the daily streak? It counts how many days in a row you’ve opened and read the daily “why”. If you miss a day, the streak resets from the next day.
How do I unlock badges? By reading the “whys”, keeping a streak going, exploring different categories and opening the special dates throughout the year. Some badges are a surprise and only show up once you unlock them. You’ll find them all in Progress, in the Cabinet.
What are special dates? On certain days of the year (like New Year’s Day, Valentine’s Day, or Christmas), the daily content is replaced by a themed experience for that occasion.
Why am I not receiving the daily notification? Check that you’ve allowed notifications for Wonder Why in iOS Settings, and that notifications are turned on with a time set inside the app.
How do I change the content language? Go to Settings > Language and choose your preferred language among the ones available.
What is the Library for? It gathers the “whys” you’ve read, day by day, and lets you reopen each day’s card. The bookmark at the top shows only the ones you’ve saved; you can also search by keyword or filter by category.
Does Wonder Why collect my data? Nothing that identifies you. Wonder Why has no account, and your progress (read days, badges, saved items) stays only on your iPhone. If you agree, the app also sends anonymous usage statistics, which you can turn off anytime in Settings.
Will I lose my data if I change phone? It depends on how you move to the new phone. Wonder Why has no account and no sync, so your progress stays on the phone where you made it. If you transfer a full backup of your old phone (from iCloud or a computer), the app’s data is normally kept; otherwise you start from scratch.
