FAQs

WattHub is a digital archive of Wattpad-original Filipino fiction. We save public stories as backups so readers can always find and read them, even when the originals disappear from Wattpad. Think of it as a library for stories that might otherwise be lost.

There are lots of reasons. An author might delete their own work, the platform might remove a story that breaks its rules, or an account goes private and takes everything with it. Sometimes a writer simply steps away. Whatever the reason, the story can vanish overnight, along with every memory readers attached to it. We archive public stories so they live on here.

We only archive stories that are publicly available on Wattpad, and we always credit the original author. WattHub is a preservation archive, not a republishing platform. We never claim ownership of the work, and if an author asks us to remove their story, we take it down.

No. We don't sell stories, we don't run ads, and we don't present anyone else's work as our own. Every story keeps its original author's name and the archive is free for everyone. If anything, we're the opposite of piracy: we make sure a writer's work isn't forgotten, not that someone profits from it.

Mostly Filipino fiction from Wattpad: romance, drama, and M2M stories in Tagalog and English, plus fantasy, horror, mystery, and more. You can browse by genre, language, status, and tags to find your kind of story.

Try the search bar first. You can look up a title, an author, or even a keyword you remember. You can also browse by genre, language, status, tags, or collections, and check the author's page if you remember who wrote it. Stories that are still being updated on Wattpad appear here too, so your new favorites are easy to keep track of.

Yes. Just type the title into the search bar. If the exact title doesn't show up, try a keyword from the story, like a character's name or a word from the description. Our search also covers story tags, so even small details can be enough.

No account needed. Bookmarks and your reading position are saved on your own device, whether you use the website or the installed app, and nothing is uploaded anywhere. Tap the bookmark icon on any story to save it, and your spot is remembered automatically. Just keep in mind that clearing the app's data on this device clears those too.

Yes. Install WattHub as an app on your phone or desktop and the stories you've opened stay available without a connection. Look for the install button in the header on desktop, or in your browser menu on mobile.

There's no download button, but you might not need one. If you install the site as an app, the stories you open stay readable without an internet connection. It's a small trade-off that helps keep the archive safe while still letting you read anywhere.

Some stories deal with adult themes, so we flag them with a mature warning and let readers decide for themselves. The warning is just a heads up, it doesn't hide the story. You can also filter mature stories out from the story list if you prefer.

The watermark is a gentle reminder that a story is preserved here, not republished. It stays out of the way while you read, and it helps protect the archive from being copied wholesale and passed around as someone else's work.

We block printing so archived stories can't be redistributed as files. It's a small trade-off that protects the authors whose work we preserve. You can still read everything on the site, anywhere you like.

Quite a lot. From the reading header you can pick one of seven fonts, make the text larger or smaller, adjust the line spacing, and switch the reading theme. On desktop those controls live behind the Aa button. On mobile they're in the menu at the top right. Everything is saved on your device, so your next story opens the way you left it.

The reader has three themes of its own: light, sepia, and dark. They're separate from the site-wide light and dark mode, so you can browse in dark mode and still read in sepia if that's easier on your eyes. On desktop, use the sun button in the reading header. On mobile, pick it from the menu. Or just press T to cycle through them.

Yes, seven to choose from: Atkinson, Literata, Lora, EB Garamond, Source Serif, Inter, and Playfair. Your choice is saved automatically, and pressing F cycles through them in order if you want to try them quickly.

Your place is saved as you scroll, along with how many chapters you've finished. The progress bar at the top of the reading page shows where you are, and the Continue Reading row on the home page picks up from your spot when you come back. All of it lives on your device, so there's no account to worry about.

Yes. N goes to the next chapter, P goes to the previous one, T cycles the reading theme, and F cycles through the fonts. Handy when you're deep in a story and don't want to reach for the mouse.

Tap the list button at the bottom right of the reading page to open the table of contents and jump to any chapter. At the end of each chapter you'll also find previous and next links, and if the story is part of a series, links to the next book in order.

Yes. The bookmark icon in the reading header saves the story to your bookmarks, and the share option in the menu uses your device's share sheet, or copies the link when the share sheet isn't available.

It opens a small panel with the story's details: genres, series, collections, status, and warnings like mature content. Handy for double-checking what you're about to read.

No, and that's on purpose. WattHub is a reading archive, not a social network, so there are no likes, follows, or comments. If a story means something to you, the bookmark icon is the closest thing to a like, and you can always share the link with a friend who might enjoy it.

Just reach out through the contact page and we'll take it from there. To make sure a story can't be removed by a bogus sender, we'll ask you to verify that you're the real author, like a link to your Wattpad account or a message from the profile behind the story. Once the proof checks out, your work comes down.

No. WattHub is a free, non-commercial archive. There are no ads on stories, nothing is sold, and we never claim your work as ours. Your name stays on your story, and the archive exists only so readers can still find it if it ever disappears from Wattpad.

Because that's what this archive is for. If a story was publicly available and the account behind it disappeared, the story stays preserved here with your name still on it. If you ever want it removed, just contact us with proof that you're the author, and it's gone.

We keep each story's details in line with its original Wattpad page. If something looks wrong, like the author name or the description, send us a message and we'll take a look.

Use the search box to look up a title, an author, or any word you remember from a story. You can filter results by type, like stories, authors, or collections, and the search page lets you dig deeper. Results come back fast.

A series is a set of connected stories, like sequels or a saga, usually by the same author and meant to be read in order. A collection is a themed bundle we put together, like short stories or stories built around a certain trope, and it can include work from different authors.

The home page pulls together several ways to discover stories: recently updated picks, trending stories, newly archived work, and featured favorites. Epic Reads lists the longest stories in the archive, and Recently Added shows stories that were archived or updated in the last 30 days.

You can! Tell us the title and author and we'll look into it. Not every request can be fulfilled, but we're always growing the archive and we read every suggestion.

The best support is reading: discover stories, share them with friends, and help us remember why this archive matters. You can also reach out through our socials to say hi, suggest stories, or report a broken link.

Your bookmarks, reading history, and reading setup live on this device, not on a server. The Transfer page, under Library in the header, lets you take them with you. You can save everything to a file, copy it, and bring it back on another device.

Think of it as a backpack for your library. Everything you've saved and everything you've started reading can move with you, and nothing is uploaded anywhere.

Open the Transfer page and look at the Export card. You have two options. Save as a file downloads a .json backup you can keep anywhere, like a cloud drive or a USB stick. Copy to clipboard puts the same data in your clipboard so you can paste it into a note, an email, or a chat.

Above the buttons, a small summary shows what's inside: how many bookmarks, how many stories in your reading history, and whether your reading setup is included.

Three things: your bookmarks, the stories you've saved to read again; your reading history, the stories you've opened and how far you've gotten; and your reading setup, the font, text size, line spacing, and reader theme you picked.

Site-wide things like dark mode and the color scheme are left out on purpose. They're device preferences, so each device keeps its own look.

On the new device, open the Transfer page and go to the Import card. Two ways to bring your data in: upload the .json file you saved earlier, or switch to the Paste JSON tab and paste the copied text.

Once the file or text is loaded, the page shows a preview of what's inside before you commit, so you always know what you're about to import.

Merge keeps what's already on this device and adds whatever's missing from the import. If the same story is bookmarked on both, it stays once. This is the safe choice when you're combining libraries from two devices.

Replace wipes this device's bookmarks, reading history, and reading setup, then restores exactly what's in the import. Use it when you want this device to become a copy of another. The page asks you to confirm before replacing, because it can't be undone.

No. Bookmarks, reading history, and reading setup never leave this device, whether you're on the website or the installed app. Exporting writes a file or copies text, and importing reads that text back into the app on your device. Nothing is uploaded.

That also means clearing the app's data on this device removes your library, so an occasional export is a good habit.

Yes. Export from the old device, using either the file or the clipboard. On the new phone, install the site and open the Transfer page, then import with Merge or Replace. Your bookmarks, reading history, and reading setup come along.

The reading position for each story travels with the history, so you can pick up right where you left off.
