    Hello @LouisaLewis6

    To Index you could use the web browser on the phone. But the screen on a phone is very small. It would be awkward to see the data entry area and also to see the image. You would have to be moving to and fro continually. I wouldn't recommend it, especially for newbies.


    This knowledge article explains the requirements for Indexing on a tablet.

    Note also this line "At this time, we are unable to support indexing from smart phones due to their small screen size."

    The BYU Family History Lab has a mobile "indexing app" for phones.
