I can't find a sub-collection in the mobile app

๐Ÿ’ป Environment/Context

  • Mobile app
  • Collections
  • Upload

ย 

โ“ Issue/Question

  • X player can't see in the app the photos in the Media tab uploaded to the X match collection
  • X team are trying to upload content to their X match collection but they can't find it in the app
  • Only the main collections appear in the list when choosing where to upload from the mobile app
  • A player can't find a sub-collection, or the media they're tagged in, in the mobile app

ย 

๐Ÿ‘Œ Resolution/Answer

  • Search for the sub-collection by name
    • Tap the search bar in the Collections tab, or in the collection list when you upload
    • Type the name of the sub-collection, or its first few letters
    • Select the sub-collection from the results
  • Navigate to the sub-collection
    • Open the Collections tab
    • Open the parent collection and each sub-collection on the path until you reach the destination, e.g. Collection > Sub-collection > Sub-collection 2 > Destination sub-collection
    • Open the destination sub-collection to see the media you're tagged in

ย 

๐Ÿฅš Cause

  • When you upload from the mobile app, the collection list only shows main collections by default. Sub-collections only appear when you search for them

ย 

๐Ÿ”– Notes

  • You only find collections and media that are available to your account
  • Uploads to a sub-collection found through the search work the same as any other uploadย
