New Ward-Based Experiences on the Gospel Library App

[locke99]

Does the new Ward-Based Experience of 6.5 only work for iOS. I have the gospel library app 6.5 installed on the Pixel 6. I am in the EQ and my president who has an iphone it works for him, but I don't have access.
I am signed in, I am using version 6.5, My calling is current in Leader and Clerk Resources, and our ward sacrament meeting start time is current.
So, is this an iOS only experience for the time being?

From the Apple Play store:

Ward and Branch Features
• Added a “Sacrament Meeting Hymns” card to Home (visible during sacrament meeting) that music coordinators can use to communicate hymns each week.
• Added “Relief Society Lessons” and “Elders Quorum Lessons” cards to Home that presidencies can use to communicate selected general conference talks for 2nd- and 4th-Sunday lessons.
• Added a “Callings” card for selecting hymns and lessons (only visible for members with callings that can edit).
• Added notification options in Settings for some of the above features.
• (Ward and branch features require signing in with a Church Account that’s connected to a membership record number.)

Ward and Branch Features
• Added a “Sacrament Meeting Hymns” card to Home (visible on Sundays) that music coordinators can use to communicate hymns each week.
• Added “Relief Society Lessons” and “Elders Quorum Lessons” cards to Home that presidencies can use to communicate 2nd- and 4th-Sunday lesson topics.
• Added a “Callings” card for editing hymns and lessons (only visible for members with callings that can edit).
• Added Display Options to the reading view

However, in the "what's new" section of the Android app, there's no mention of the lessons.

Perhaps the first question is if the EQP has entered any lessons. Only then are EQ members going to see anything.

You didn't say what your calling is and it's not clear just how many members of the EQP have "write" access.

I am a counselor in the presidency.
My president has added a lesson for the 23rd (I don't see the added lesson).
In the video, it says you will see callings, I don't see that.

[russellhltn]

What video are you referring to? You can see callings in Member Tools.

I have no idea what the delay/sync time is for added lessons.

I can verify that the Elders Quorum lesson tile and Hymns tile show even if no hymns or lesson have been selected. For the lesson it states "General Conference talks have not been entered.'

Are you sure you are signed in to the app with your church account? I didn't have it on my android device and when I investigated I found I was signed-out of the app. I have not signed out manually so that may have happened as the result of an update. When I signed in with my church account, the lesson tile was available to turn on (but our Elder's Quorum presidency has not loaded any lessons yet).

Signed in, signed out, re signed in, uninstalled, re installed, re signed in.

It works in the Android beta. I expect it will work in the regular release as soon as it gets pushed.

I didn't see it yesterday, but today I decided to logout and back in and then I could see it. I didn't check today before the login/logout, so I'm not sure if that made a difference or not.

This is GL 6.5.0 on a Pixel 6 just after sacrament meeting.
