On iNat Classic for iOS, the only way you can see if you’ve added your observation to a project is to click Edit and look under Projects. On the iNaturalist (iNat Next) app for iOS, however, this is visible under observation details. No need to click edit to see this. What about on the Android app…

That doesn’t show up in my version of the app on a Samsung android 15 phone, BUT there is a share icon that will take you to the observation on the website and it shows all the projects that it’s included in. Note: other manufacturer’s phone may be different. [1000004240] [1000004239]

Would seem to confirm what I’ve been told. Just curious - do you see the ‘share’ icon in your version?

I think there may be a difference depending on whether it is a traditional or collection project. For example, my observaation of an Alkali Bluet, according to @merylgreen 's method, is "included in one project: [image] But on the website, as seen on my computer, it is seen to be in two projects: …

Yes, on the top right of the photo. Tapping it offers the options of share, share location, and view on iNaturalist

That is confusing… I went and checked the observation I used as an example above and the number of projects matched. I found another that shows it is part of 1 project in the app and part of 4 when I viewed the same one on the website. I also noticed some observations that do not show they’re part o…
