No idea, but what I do know is the the guides are no longer updated or supported by the site, so any bug will likely not be fixed unless they redo the entire system for guides.

Ah, I never found the settings, because I did not go into Me. I don’t use the app much.

The guides work ok-ish on the web version. I am still creating them, but I wanted to use one on the phone and no guides appear in the list, either under Your Guides or Nearby

I am in Oxford. Grasses of Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire should be local enough, surely.

I have the same issue with the Guide I created for our Schoolyard Habitat for the NWF. It’s a shame if the Guides will no longer be supported, especially since they are used as a learning device.

Our students used iOS (iPads, iPhones) for their tracking. Our Guide can only be found in the Desktop version, not in a mobile format. Disappointing.

I agree. Very disappointing. Please could someone confirm that guides have been removed from IOS. And warn on the guides page.

Closing as there is a new mobile app for iOS and the old app is no longer being developed. See [https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/inaturalist-next-app-soft-launch-for-iphones/55277](https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/inaturalist-next-app-soft-launch-for-iphones/55277)
