Hi

Just wondering why the magazines for Jan 2022 are not available online? We're now into the new curriculum and don't have access to the resources included in the magazines... I see on other forums that the print versions seem to be out so just confused why the digital versions aren't? Some of us live in areas where the physical copies are not an option...

Thanks hoping someone can assist
Kind Regards

It seems like they are available under Library -> Gospel Library -> Magazines. https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/stu ... s?lang=eng

I hope this helps.

I'm not seeing it in Android. GL version 6.0.0. I don't see a newer GL in the Play Store.

It does appear that they are available online at the Church website but not yet in Gospel Library. Most of the time they hit all locations around the same time, so I am guessing that GL will have them soon.

I know they usually come out before the month begins, but not always. It is still December, by the way. And to release them in Gospel Library someone has to go to the trouble of bundling up all of 2021 magazines into one package and begin a new 2022 section, so that will take a little longer than usual. I suspect that the developers have all unwrapped their presents and will be working on it this week.

Fortunately, the Old Testament that we will be studying this coming year was released quite some time ago (1979, I seem to recall) and is already available.

The January 2022 magazines are now available in the Gospel Library app. You can go to Home or the root Library and pull-to-refresh to force the app to check for a content update.

400 BC, AD 382, 1611, 1880, 1979, 2000, or 2013, depending on how you count. :)

400 BC: All books in the Old Testament have been written.
AD 382: Biblical canon affirmed/decreed at Council of Rome.
1611: KJV published, which is the Bible translation usually used in Church publications in English.
1880: Book of Abraham and excerpts from the Joseph Smith Translation of the Bible canonized in the Pearl of Great Price.
1979: First Latter-day Saint edition of the Bible, with study helps that cross reference all of the standard works.
2000: Standard works (including the Bible) first published digitally by the Church (Scriptures.LDS.org).
2013: Current edition of the Latter-day Saint standard works (including the Bible) in English.

As of today, they purport to be available, but are not downloading correctly in either Windows or Android. Hopefully, that'll sort out in the next few days.

It's working fine for me on my android. You might check your settings as it might not download if you're not on WiFi.

I'm sure I'm on WiFi in my home, since my tablet does not have cellular capability to begin with. Also still unable to DL in the Windows app as well, with the same content. I've restarted the tablet multiple times, and it's not having trouble with web browsing, so I'm pretty sure it recognizes my home network. :)

What version of GL? At some point, older versions don't get updated content. I'm on 6.0.0.

You might check to see that you are on the latest version of GL. I can open the Jan 2022 Liahona on my Android phone just fine today.

On Windows 10 laptop: version 5.2.18.0. I did check Microsoft Store, and this appears to be the most current version they have. Liahona just showed up on this version, lacking cover art but with content accessible. Had to manually download youth magazines for January, but they're present now, including cover art.

On Android 10 tablet: version 6.0.0 (600038.5). Did check Google Play for updates. Liahona is now present, but lacking cover art (same as with the Windows version). January youth magazines simply aren't downloading at all.

The cover art for the January 2020 Liahona is missing for me as well – not sure why, but at least that seems to be "normal." :) I'm not sure why you're not able to download the January youth magazine, though.

I think those are the latest app versions as of today.

I'm on android version 6.0.0. Jan 2022 Liahona cover art doesn't show, but I see that occasionally so didn't think of it as unusual. The Jan 2022 Liahona opens for me. The January 2022 youth magazine shows cover art and opens just fine for me. I usually use my android device to access GL.

I also have GL Windows beta version 5.2.18.0 installed on my WIN 10 PC. Jan 2022 Liahona doesn't show cover art but opens normally. Jan 2022 Youth shows cover art and opens normally.
