Hello…new member here with a search question. Can searches on Observations be filtered by date of observations? For example, when I bring up one of my Observations it displays a map with other observations of the same species…can this be filtered by date?
Thanks…great site

Hey, welcome to iNat! :)
Yes. Assuming, you’re using iNat on the website, you can search for any observations in the explore tab. In the filter box, there are multiple different options for filtering by date (either exact, a range, or specific months). You can additionally narrow it down further to a specific place or a specific user too, if you want.
Sounds like the map you are referencing is the one that appears on the page of the observation. I don’t think you can change what observations are displayed in there, as it is meant to give an overview of the geographical range the organism was found in.
P.S.: If you’re using iNat on the App, please tell us which one you are using (iNat on Android, iNat on iOS, or iNat Classic on iOS)
