I’m on DTTG 3.6 already. Might be related to that
Do you use iOS 16 focus filters or explicitly don’t? DEVONthink To Go 3.6 filters reading list items in databases currently not visible due to a focus filter.
No, I never use focus filter. At least not that I know of.
Edit: And I just noticed that I do have a reading list on my Mac (which I must have created when fiddling around and then forgot about). Which contains exactly one item. So, on the iPhone, this list is visible, reported to contain one item, but the item itself is not visible.
And: “Fokusstatus” is set to on on my iPhone (I swear that I didn’t set that!). Just turned it off and restarted DTTG, but the “problem” remains.
DEVONthink To Go definitely cannot set any focus status itself. What happens when you set databases for a focus and switch to it? Do items in the selected databases appear? If you try that for us, that would be very helpful. I have a suspicion.
That’s not what I was hinting at 
More “Apple knows what is good for me, so they do whatever they see fit when updating my OS”.
How do I do that?
Open Settings > Focus. Choose a focus, like Work. Add DEVONthink as a filter and choose one, two databases as well as minimum one smart group. Now switch back to DEVONthink To Go.
Focuses are a great too, so it might be worth to explore them anyway eventually.
Ok, here’s what I did:
- selected Work focus
- selected DT as filter, chose 2 databases and 2 smart groups, one of them the reading list
- activated the focus in control center
- switched back to DTTG
- which now shows only two databases and the two smart groups
- but the reading list still says “1 item” and showing none.
Now, if I turn the focus off in DTTG, the reading list shows the item.
HTH
Is the item located in one of the two databases you chose of the focus?
In any way, point proven already. We’ll look into this early next week.
Nope, it’s in the global inbox. Which I didn’t (and couldn’t) add to the focus filter, IIRC.
I just wanted to report to have similar issue since installing DDT 3.6. No items visible on Reading List even though I see some number next to it.
No “Focus” mode engaged. Databases display as expected, and all of them.
Screenshot above from iPad, but it behaves the same way on iPhone. I even do full re-sync: first deleted DT apps from iPad and iPhone, then I cleaned iCloud sync location, uploaded again from Mac, and then installed and synced iPad and iPhone DT apps again.
Forgot to add: yes, on my Mac there is several dozen items on Reading List, and previously they displayed on mobile devices just fine.
Thanks for these steps. I was able to enable the Reading List smart group the same way - by enabling the Focus filter and then turning it off from within DTTG - the Reading List “stayed on” once I deactivated the Focus Filter. That’s pretty weird and certainly not intuitive
I appear to have a similar problem Global inbox synchronises 0K show 3 items in reading list on my iPhone and iPad but nothing is displayed in the reading list
I’m having the same issue on my iPhone and iPad. The count shows 27 items in my reading list but only 1 item shows up. All documents seem to be present on the devices and no focus filters are active.
I suggest that we stop filling this thread with “me too” posts. According to @eboehnisch, the developers have got the message and are working on the problem.

I am facing the same problem. My reading list is empty. This happens just after update to 3.6. While waiting for the developer to fix this, is there any way that I can revert back to 3.5.7?
The reading list is not gone, it just doesn’t show any items unless there’s a focus set that includes the databases in question. Reverting back is, unfortunately, nothing the App Store supports but a 3.6.1 is soon on its way.
Thanks. If I did what @chrillek did above (I instead chose the database that my reading list is in), I can see all the items in the reading list. Interestingly, if I turn off the focus, the reading list remains. So, this might be my workaround till 3.6.1 comes.
I notice that we call Reading List smart group. In fact, during the focus filter in iOS, it is one of the smart group to select. However, in the DT, I cannot create a smart group/rule for reading list. I want to flag all the item in the reading list as a workaround till 3.6.1. As only Flagged and Reading List smart group are synced between DT and DTTG. Could you please advice how can I select items in Reading List to be use in smart group/rule?
On the Mac, the Reading List is a separate thing, in DEVONthink To Go we show it as part of the smart groups but technically it’s also the very same separate entity as on the Mac. It just appears like a global smart group so that it has a good place in the user interface.
