My digital recommend was provided and activated by my stake president, however I am unable to access it on my mobile device. I have tried everything to no avail. What can I do?

Just a wild guess, but you might try going into Settings and doing a data refresh. Sync doesn't always pick up the changes.

Also, make sure you have the latest version of the Member Tools app installed – currently Member Tools 5.2.1, for iOS.

Looks like it is available now.

How do leaders authorize a member for mobile temple recommend use, though?

Not quite. It will become available when the Church turns on the switch for the bishopric or branch president to select the mobile recommend option. The supporting files are being put in place first,

My unofficial source says the switch is expected to occur this month.

Maybe. I've seen reports this week of some leaders not finding it on their end.

The presence of instructions means some units have it. It's not an indicator of general availability.

Our bishop announced this morning that mobile recommends are now available to any member who wishes to convert their current recommend or interview for a new one. Until now, our temple district was not a part of the pilot program.

I've heard the same thing just today for our temple district here in the US. Not sure how widespread this is, could be a general rollout, or perhaps just additional Areas that are now being enabled.

According to this Church News article, it is a general rollout over the next few weeks.
