**Platform** (Android, iOS, Website): iOS iPhone 11 version 13.5.1

**App version number** , if a mobile app issue (shown under Settings or About): v3.0 (build 594)

**Description of problem**

Step 1:  
at tab Activities - my Content:  
pull down

I get the green background color (not yet read) notifications (IDs of others).

Step 2:  
2-3 seconds later it turns to white background (clicked notifications).

Same problem occured at older versions if I do multiple pull down for update.

So problem is: you don’t know whether you have checked others users suggestions or not.

BTW:  
After updated App to v3.0 got same problems like other users. I deinstalled it and installed it new.

About 12000 observations total, app size usually \> 7 gigabytes.

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)
