Cannot update the bookmark in same chapter using ios

Whenever I am listening to something and already have a bookmark in that chapter/talk if I listen for a bit and then try to update the bookmark it gives an error saying the bookmark already exists. To get around it I then have to delete the bookmark and then create a new one. Lot of steps just to update a bookmark.

That message should only appear if you're trying to add a bookmark to a paragraph that already has a bookmark. Do you see a bookmark icon in the left margin before you go to update the bookmark?

It only happens using audio and there is a bookmark at the top of the chapter.

It appears that if I scroll a bit then the bookmark updates. Better workaround but still confusing when listening and not reading.

That makes sense, I think I understand the confusion.

Audio will, by default, remember its position (no bookmark needed). If you stop listening in the middle of a chapter, then come back later, when you start listening again, it will pick up where you left off.

The bookmark can be useful in this scenario for marking which chapter you're on, but if you're on the same chapter as you were when you started today's listening, you can skip the step of setting the bookmark, as it won't make a difference in your saved audio position.

Actually is does remember the audio location. I jump around a lot between conference talks and different scriptures as well as different languages. The bookmarks work well for that. Coming back after a restart of the app or device will forget where you last at and certainly would not accomodate for needing multiple audio bookmarks.

Just to be clear, the bookmark remembers 2 pieces of information successfully: where I am in the text and where I am in the audio, which can be very different locations. My question comes down to why does it care if the bookmark already exist? Why doesn't it just right over it instead of forcing me to change the location of both the audio and the text?

Your location in the audio will be remembered whether or not you set a bookmark.

That I don't know – you could try sending feedback in Settings to request that the behavior change. I've seen some people with a similar problem, where they are in the same location for their family study and their personal study, and want to set both their family study and personal study bookmarks to the same paragraph.

I did not realize I could do that. Thanks for the feedback!
