The company wrote a blog post about preparing for the transition, which includes updating all Feedly apps and extensions to their latest versions. Here&#8217;s now to do it for each specific browser:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Chrome: head over to chrome:\/\/extnesions and enable the developer mode. Then click on &#8220;update extensions&#8221; to force upgrade to the latest version.<\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Feedly for Firefox\" href=\"http:\/\/feedly.en.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Firefox<\/a> and Safari: head over to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.feedly.com\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/www.feedly.com\/index.html<\/a> and manually re-install the extension. Then restart the browser and make sure you have the latest version (16.0.514 at the time of this writing).<\/li>\n<li>iOS and <a title=\"feedly for android\" href=\"http:\/\/feedly.en.softonic.com\/android\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Android<\/a>: update the Feedly apps in the App Store or Google Play. If you&#8217;re not sure if there&#8217;s an update, you can always uninstall and reinstall the app. The latest version for Android is 16.0.5 and 16.0.1 for iOS at the time of this writing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There are a few caveats for this migration. Histories from Google Reader will not be synced as that is an overwhelming amount of data. This means you&#8217;ll start with a blank history and your unread counts will be reset. This is a one time issue and users going forward should have no problems with histories. There is also a chance that you may experience a gap of a few days in the saved items moving over.<\/p>\n<p>Other than that, it should be smooth sailing when the transition does happen. Users can continue using the Google Authentication to log in. <a title=\"twitter\" href=\"http:\/\/news.en.softonic.com\/b\/twitter\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Twitter<\/a>, <a title=\"facebook\" href=\"http:\/\/news.en.softonic.com\/t\/facebook-tags\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Facebook<\/a>, <a title=\"tumblr\" href=\"http:\/\/news.en.softonic.com\/b\/tumblr\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tumblr<\/a> and <a title=\"linkedin\" href=\"http:\/\/news.en.softonic.com\/b\/linkedin\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">LinkedIn<\/a> login support are being added &#8220;shortly.&#8221; Feedly is going to be migrating aggressively with a time frame between now and June 21st.<\/p>\n<p>Feedly has also listed some bugs to be expected so head over to the source link to find out more.<\/p>\n<p>[Source: <a title=\"feedly\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.feedly.com\/2013\/06\/17\/important-preparing-to-be-upgraded-to-the-new-feedly-cloud\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Feedly<\/a>]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Google Reader is shutting down July 1st but have no fear, Feedly is preparing for a seamless migration from Google Reader.
