Hi, I see some older questions about how to take a photo we’ve just taken on an iPhone, hit the arrow icon that is right on that screen to export it, and select iNaturalist as the app to export it to. There is no way currently. Is there a development path for enabling iPhone users to do this? The l…

You can do this in the new version of the app, iNaturalist Next, which is available for testing, see: https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/has-anyone-tried-sharing-photos-to-inaturalist-next/55752 The date and location should be filled in automatically from the photo metadata.

Thank you! I downloaded it and got it to work. Not that you asked, but I do have a few comments. The iPhone has that function hidden … had to scroll over, select “More,” and then scroll to the bottom of the list. I used it on three photos and it was the same for each - hope Apple will see fit to …

In a park or nature preserve, I’m taking photos using a Nikon Z8 with 180-600mm lens. I take them home, cull them on my MacBook Air, and process the ones I like. In the meantime I also try to ID all the birds and do an eBird report, especially if anything might interest others. The way I ID them is…

Or - here’s a red-eyed vireo from 9/11 - I had to ID it, and must admit I used a different function that is just two clicks to get an ID. I’d rather use iNat if I can easily enter location, because that will be more accurate. [AI-NZ8_3701-1-topaz 2]
