Description

Description

When trying to switch to Reader in the Jetpack app, I get the "Discover and follow blogs you love" modal that forces me to select tags.

Step-by-step reproduction instructions

When I click "Reader" in the Jetpack app, I get this modal that I cannot close:

I follow only the default dailyprompt tag and I'm not interested in following any tags. But this modal tries me to force some.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the Reader entry point in the Jetpack iOS app on version 27.1 and inspect the tag-selection modal flow. Done means a user who follows no tags can enter Reader without being forced to select tags, and the modal no longer blocks that transition.
