Is there a way to allow another user to view all your identifications on the app? Thanks, Lance

I might have answered my own question. Would using Following work? I’m a novice and new to this app. I’ve been amazed at how well it comes up with the right answer most of the time. I want to be able to have friends and relatives see what I have done without giving out my id/pswd. Lance

Now I may have unanswered my question. I need this capability on the app. Sorry. Lance

Yeah unfortunately initiating following other users isn’t possible in the apps, the website has a lot more features. But you can share your user profile with others and they can press follow via the website: https://www.inaturalist.org/users/lance72

Got it. Thanks for replying so quickly. Maybe in the future… Lance

It’s definitely a common question! Surprisingly I’m not seeing an open request for this feature for the apps (am I overlooking it @forum_moderators ?). You could consider submitting one at #feature-requests .

I don’t think there’s an open request to make it possible to use the app to follow people. But I’m also not sure how useful it would be. At least in the Android app, the “Following” tab only shows observations you’re following, not content from users that you follow.

for people who get email updates for observations by people they follow, it would be pretty useful
