네이버 웹툰 - Naver Webtoon: Comics App

Naver Webtoon is a comics reading app by NAVER WEBTOON that delivers serialized digital comics, commonly called webtoons, to a phone. The core problem it addresses is that following an ongoing series across scattered posts and sites is awkward: you lose your place, you miss new episodes, and you cannot read comfortably on a small screen. This app gathers a large catalog in one place, arranges titles so they can be browsed by popularity, view count, or update schedule, and keeps track of where each reader stopped. It has been available since December 2010 and has reached more than ten million installs, with a rating of 4.29 from over three hundred thousand ratings. The current release is version 2.48.1, updated on October 12, 2026, and it runs on Android 9 and above. The app is free to download, is supported by advertising, and offers optional in-app purchases. A Teen content rating applies, so some titles may not suit younger readers.

Key features

• Browse the catalog sorted by popularity, total views, or the most recent update so a series is easier to locate.
• Resume reading from the exact page you last viewed through the reading history stored under the menus.
• Use the 48-Hour Temporary Save option to keep episodes available for offline reading within that window.
• Turn on notifications for a series and receive an alert when a new episode is published.
• Access the customer center from within the app's settings if a question or technical problem comes up.
• Read on phones running Android 9 or later, with the app itself staying free to install.

Latest changes · 2.48.2

Version 2.48.1 of Naver Webtoon brings bug fixes and stability improvements to enhance your reading experience. This update focuses on resolving known issues and making the app run more smoothly.

This app suits people who read comics regularly on a phone and want a single place to follow many series at once. It fits readers who like to check what is popular or newly updated, and those who prefer to be notified the moment a favorite title returns. Because offline access is limited to a 48-hour window, it is most useful to readers who are usually connected rather than those who need long-term downloads. The Teen rating and the presence of ads and in-app purchases mean it is best suited to older teens and adults who are comfortable with that setup.

Set up notifications only for series you genuinely follow, otherwise alerts pile up. If you read on a commute, use the 48-Hour Temporary Save before you leave, since it only lasts two days. Sorting by update can help you find series that publish on a schedule you can keep up with, and checking your reading history is quicker than searching for a title again. Review the permissions the app requests and grant only what you are comfortable with.

Naver Webtoon is a long-running, widely installed comics reader that handles browsing, resuming, and update alerts in one app. It is free and practical for everyday reading, provided you accept ads, optional purchases, and a broad set of permissions.
