Downloading memories

Hi

According to the Family Search Android app it's possible to download all of the Memories for a Person in one go.

I've followed the instructions (see page link below, and an extract from that page link).

It works ok except I don't have the download option mentioned in item 5 under Family Tree.

Please note that I've only got one version of the Family Tree app on my phone (ie Not Family tree app and Memories app) and I do wonder if that's the reason I can't see this option.

    @dave15 ( & @Chai )

    FYI

    Providing you are referring to the, "Mobile" Application version of "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch'; and, an "Android" Mobile Phone ...

    That "Knowledge Article" in 'Family Tree":

    How do I download the memories (photos, stories, documents, and audio files) about my ancestors?

    https://www.familysearch.org/help/helpcenter/article/how-do-i-download-the-memories-photos-stories-documents-and-audio-files-about-my-ancestors

    is misleading; and, needs correcting (and, updating).

    ▬ Points 3 & 4 need to grouped together separately

    ▬ Point 5 need to be separate.

    There NEEDS to be a 'Break-Up' or 'Separator'; and, separate "Headings" for, (1) Points 3 & 4; and, (2) Point 5.

    Reason:

    Points 3 & 4 refer to "Downloading" a SINGLE "Memory", for that individual/person.

    Whereas ...

    Point 5 refers to "Downloading" ALL the "Memories", for that individual/person.

    Pictorially ,,,

    Here is HOW to "Download" ALL the "Memories", for that individual/person.

    Individual/Person selected ...

    Download _ ALL _ Memories _ Family Tree MOBILE Application _ 1.jpg

    After selecting the "Memories" 'Tab' ...

    [ The THREE (x3) "Dots" being in the TOP 'right-hand-corner' ... ]

    Download _ ALL _ Memories _ Family Tree MOBILE Application _ 2.jpg

    After selecting the THREE (x3) "Dots" ...

    'Drop Down' Menu ...

    With an 'Option' to "Download Memories" (in fact, ALL "Memories") ...

    Download _ ALL _ Memories _ Family Tree MOBILE Application _ 3.jpg

    "Warning" 'Message ...

    That you are about to "Download' ALL the :Memories for that individual/person ...

    Download _ ALL _ Memories _ Family Tree MOBILE Application _ 4.jpg

    I hope this helps.

    And, Just my thoughts

    Hello Dave,

    I too cannot download all memories for a person in one go in the Android Mobile App.

    It doesn't work for the living or the dead either.

    We will have to message FamilySearch to tell them.

    One important note, the Family Tree App download all memories for a person doesn’t save the memories to your device’s photo storage. It makes the photos available to view in the app even if you don’t have an internet or wifi connection.

    Using the Android Memories App, I used option to download all memories in my gallery.

    This allowed me to view the memories in the app when the device is in airplane mode.


    Using the Android Family Tree App, I downloaded all memories for my great-grandmother.

    All memories tagged to her could be viewed in airplane mode.

    When I viewed her husband’s page in airplane mode, I could view all memories tagged to both of them, but I was unable to view memories tagged to him but not to her.
