Adding observations to a project in a new app

General

Dear All,

I am leading a traditional project (https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/urban-cavities-project) and have recently noticed an issue with the new app (currently using iOS version 1.0.19). While the AI species recognition feature is helpful for identification, I can’t find an option to add an observation to a traditional project (which is available in the browser and in the old app, “iNaturalist Classic”). I wanted to ask whether this feature exists in the new app, and if so, where can I find it? If the feature is not available, I think it would be worth adding. The current setup makes it harder for the new users to actively participate in traditional projects.

That functionality isn’t available yet, but they plan to add it:

Thank you for the response! Do you know when (more or less) we can expect this feature? I see that this comment was made a year ago.

That hasn’t been shared, sorry.

Edit - apparently aiming for first half of 2026 actually https://www.inaturalist.org/blog/123394
