Hey everyone, We’ve been getting reports from some users that the iOS app (version 2.8) crashes when they tap on the photo library icon in the new observation screen [image] This looks to be happening to those who have updated their device to iOS 13 or 13.1. Unfortunately, no one on the iNat tea…

The latest version, 2.8.2, should have fixed this. Is anyone else experiencing this particular crash after updating?

Still experiencing the crash. My settings all set to Russian, but my settings are identical to the ones uploaded.

Same problem with my iPhone 7, I select a picture from my recent pics gallery and then Done and the app crashes. I just found however that if selecting a pic from say my Instagram pics folder that’s working fine. Also seems with an existing entry I can edit and add another pic with no problem :wink: …

Updated both app and iOS, 2.8.1 and 13.1.3 respectively, still crashing on tapping photo library icon.

Welcome to the forum, @henrythomp !

Sorry about the tech problems, but welcome to the forum, @elyzaveta_bateham !

It’s fixed for us up here in the Sacramento Mtns of New Mexico Awesome update

Just saw the update for iNat to fix the crash, but even after deleting and downloading the app again its still happening. Running most recent IOS. Everything is as it should be on my phone…

I just updated my iPhone on October 20, and that didn’t help. I can’t even pull the app up at all, much less try and upload a photo. As soon as I click on the app, I get the initial green ”iNatiralist” screen and then it immediately crashes and goes away. I can’t get into the app at all.

I’d be more than happy to beta test. Been offering since discovering this issue…
