Describe the Bug

In previous versions of the Android app, the articles had an option to delete or archive them on the article view screen. Sometime in the last few updates that appears to have disappeared, and the only way I can delete or archive articles is via the web app. Now I have to mentally keep track of the articles I've read on the Android app to manage them when I get back in front of a full browser.

If this feature is still there, it's not very obvious compared to the old UX.

Also the link to the "troubleshooting" page in the bug template below gets a 404...

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Click on a saved article
  2. View saved article
  3. No option to delete or archive, just icons for "info" and "browser"

Expected Behaviour

In addition to "info" and "browser" there should be icons for "delete" and "archive". IIRC those were available via a dropdown in the older app so the functionality should still be in the codebase...?

Screenshots or Additional Context

Device Details

Google Pixel 6 Pro running Android 16

this was an accidental backward incompatible change from my side. Upgrading your server to version 0.29.3 should fix it.
