When I click the "recent" link when I'm using my phone to do family history on the website, not the app, it no longer gives me a list of people I've worked on. It asks me to insert a name or id. I'd rather see the list of prior names. I don't write down every person I've worked on. This new feature or glitch doesn't help me go back to work on recent individuals. Can it go back to giving me a list of names?

    Are you sure they're not there if you scroll down?

    I'm allergic to phone, but if you're just using a web browser, it should be the same as on a computer, except for whatever small-screen adjustments they make. I just opened Family Tree in another window and made it as narrow as it would go, and my Recents list is still there.

    I don't usually use the App, but I have installed it on my Android tablet. I believe it should act the same as the Android phone app. The only difference I see between my Recents list on the App and that on my PC (Windows 10, Firefox) is the ability to scroll my own username and PID off the top before taking a screenshot.

    @Travis Marker

    Another way to see recent names you have worked on is to select (My Contributions) then (MY CHANGES).

    You will find a list of names you worked on and the changes you made for the past 12 months or more.

    When I use the website in Safari on my iPod, the Recents lists works just like when using the website on a computer aside from modifications due to screen size:

    So lets start with the usual questions. What kind of phone are you using? What operating system and version? What browser and version? FamilySearch only supports the couple of most recent version of operating systems and browser. If your system is getting too old, you will find more and more things breaking in the browser at not just FamilySearch but other websites as well.
