How to Read Wattpad Stories on an Android Phone or Tablet

You can read a Wattpad story on an Android phone or tablet by downloading it as an EPUB with WP Downloader, then opening the file in Google Play Books, Moon+ Reader, or another EPUB reader.

Step 1: Copy the Wattpad story link

Open the story on wattpad.com and copy its URL. A Wattpad story link looks like this:

https://www.wattpad.com/story/123456789-story-title

WP Downloader also accepts links to individual Wattpad parts and complete Wattpad reading lists. Copy the link for the story, part, or list you want to download.

Step 2: Download the story with WP Downloader

Open the Wattpad downloader in your Android browser. WP Downloader is a free web tool, and there is nothing to install.

Paste the Wattpad link into the box. WP Downloader will recognize the site and show the available download options.

Choose EPUB to read the story in an Android reading app. EPUB downloads are free for everyone, and you can include the story’s images. PDF downloads require a free Discord sign-in. WP Downloader does not create MOBI, AZW3, or TXT files.

You do not need an account for public Wattpad stories. If you sign in with your Wattpad account, you can also download paid stories that your account owns and stories from your Wattpad library or archive. WP Downloader uses your credentials only to fetch the story you request.

WP Downloader can download only material your account is allowed to read. It does not bypass paywalls, locked chapters, or age restrictions.

Once the EPUB is ready, download it to your Android phone or tablet.

Step 3: Open the EPUB in Google Play Books

Google Play Books accepts DRM-free EPUB and PDF files. You can read uploaded books on Android, iPhone, iPad, or the web.

Upload the downloaded EPUB through the Play Books app on your Android device. When the upload finishes, open the book and start reading.

You can also upload the EPUB on the Play Books website from your computer or Google Drive. The book will then be available in Play Books on your Android device.

A story with many chapters or images may produce a large file. Very large files can reach Google’s upload size limit. If that happens, use an Android reader that opens EPUB files directly.

Listen to the story on Android

Android’s Select to Speak feature can read items on the screen aloud. Turn it on under Settings, then Accessibility, and tap an item to hear it spoken.

For longer listening, use the text-to-speech mode in Moon+ Reader or open the EPUB in @Voice Aloud Reader. Both use the text-to-speech voices installed on your device, so the narration depends on those voices.

After you paste a link to a single Wattpad story, WP Downloader also shows a “Listen to audiobook” button. It opens Audora, a sister service that turns the story into an audiobook. The button is available for single Wattpad stories, but not for reading lists, individual parts, or stories from other sites.

Get newly published chapters

The EPUB contains the version of the story available when you downloaded it. WP Downloader cannot add new chapters to an existing EPUB.

When the author publishes another chapter, return to the Wattpad downloader, paste the story link again, and download a new copy. Open the new EPUB in your preferred Android reading app.
