How to set up Reading Goals in iOS 13

In iOS 13, Apple added a new feature to the Books app that lets you track how many minutes you're spending each day reading and how many books you've read this year.

If you feel you need some motivation to start reading a book and continue until the end, then using the Reading Goals feature may be the answer you need. When you reach your goal, you will receive a pop-up notification with the option to share it.

Setting up custom Reading Goals on your iPhone and iPad is easy. Here is how to do this.

1. Launch the Books app on iOS devices.

2. Select the Reading Now tab if it is not already displayed.
