    Someone in another thread suggested closing your diary so the link shows up in your feed and then the other person should be able to access it that way on the app?

    Hi all,

    Some recent update completely removed the ability to look at my friend’s food diary and copy their meal (my partner and I use this feature)- is it just me or is it a bug?

    I (premium) can’t see husband’s (free) food diary and he can’t see mine, to copy meals to his diary.

    When I randomly select a friend to view their diary, there’s no longer an option to do so.

    It appears the only way I can view someone’s diary is IF they’ve closed it, it comes up in my newsfeed and has a link.

    I have all those notifications turned off so I don’t clutter up the newsfeed. (I’d wear my friends out if I notified them of every workout. Retirement is grand.)

    Will turn the food diary notification back on as a temporary fix, but…..

    This really cramping our style that we can’t as easily share meals now.

    Tech support says to go to the App Store (iOS) and download the latest update. It states the latest update will fix the issue wiith diary sharing. My wife and I both just downloaded the update but the issue did not get fixed.

    I noticed the inability to remove a friend in iOS. I had to go to the desktop version to do it. Also when I get a friend request and hit accept, an error message pops up. It still accepts them, so not a big deal, but it’s annoying.

    Wondering what we are doing wrong with the diary sharing. My wife and I want to share the meals we have and have tried the various options in Diary Sharing under settings. Cannot work it out. Any help would be appreciated please.

    Temporary workaround: whichever of you is the “lead” will need to close their diary. The other can then see the closed diary in their newsfeed and gain access there.

    (They’ll need to have their privacy settings changed to “share when I close my diary”. )

    Thank you all for your patience and understanding! We have released version 24.4.0 to the App Store that includes a fix for this issue.

    If after updating you are still having issues, please reach out to us here https://myfitnesspal.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new for further support.

    Quoting this answer, because it's pinned at the top of the thread (1st page) so most people probably haven't seen it.
