Hello, I have my Patriarchal Blessing on my IPAD app, but for some reason not on my iPhone App . My wife has it on her iPhone app. Is this the blessing goes on one app or the other, or is it a timing issue?

You should be able to see your patriarchal blessing on both devices.
Are you running the latest version of Gospel Library (7.4.0 or later) on both your iPad and iPhone?
Are you signed in with your Church Account on both devices (if you're signed in, it will show your name at the top of Gospel Library Settings)?
You can also check in Edit Home to see if the patriarchal blessing card is hidden.

Could you please tell me where I can find that in the Gospel Library app? I can't find where it would be.

It's available on the Home section of the iOS and Android Gospel Library app, if you're signed into your Church Account.
Right now, patriarchal blessings are available in Gospel Library everywhere except the United States and Canada. It should come to the US and Canada soon.

The patriarchal blessings card in the Home section of the Gospel Library app is now available worldwide, including in the United States and Canada. You'll need to be on the latest version of Gospel Library, and signed in.

I am on Android Gospel Library version 7.5.2 and I do not see a card for the patriarchal blessing. I signed out, then back in. I have 15 cards listed on the Edit Home screen and there is nothing related to patriarchal blessing.

Have you tried finding your answer on the ChurchofJesusChrist.org Help Center or Tech Wiki?

You may need to update to version 7.5.3, which was released earlier today for Android.

Interestingly, I'm on Android version 7.5.2 of the app, and the tile appeared on my home screen, and also is a toggle selection when I select to "Edit Home".

Part of the fun of Android vendors and versions, perhaps...

I also had 7.5.2 but didn't see. I upgraded to 7.5.3 and now I have "Request Digital Access", which is interesting as it's already on the webpage.

However, it exists as a scanned PDF. I wonder if they're going to OCR it for GL?

I noticed on GL you can double-tap to go full screen and you can rotate the phone to get a little wider image, but pinch-zoom doesn't work like it does from the PDF on the website. It does, however, have a link to quickly get to the website.

It's still the scanned copy in the app (at least mine is)
