Journal app - how to share or print

Is the Journal app so new that I cannot share or print from it?


Is there a projected timeline for features that will be added, such as integration with iMessage or phone calls?

I would also LOVE to be able to print from the new Journal App feature. I really only started using it thinking that I could print into a book. I’ve been using it to document my baby’s moments that I would like to share via printed form

They must include the ‘shared journal feature’ like ‘shared album’ feature in Photos app. So we can share the journals to our family. Also they must allow us to create multiple journals.

Apple doesn't have to do anything they don't want to do. They can add features, remove features or discontineu the app if they chose to.

I don’t know Apple has any plan to update the app in the near future.

Nor does anyone else here in this user-to-user forum. You can let the know what you'd like to see here:

Otherwise we will forced to use other journaling apps. But I really don’t want to spend money on everything I use.

Are you suggesting that you shouldn't have to pay for software that people work hard to create? Apple provides basic apps for free but, as has always been the case, if you want specific features that Apple doesn't provide, you may need to pay.


Lots of journal apps have free tiers. Have you checked out any of them? Have you considered using Notes? It's free.

Maybe you should tell Apple:

Meanwhile, there are lots of better journal apps in the App Store. Or, just use Notes.

I too would like to be able to easily copy and paste ALL journal entries I only started using it in order to track daily data concerning blood pressure and pulse ox readings for my doctor if anyone has an answer I would appreciate any feedback thanks in advance !!!

That's not currently an option. You would be better off using another app. I'd suggest storing the information in the Health app. You can share directly from the Health app or you can use an app like Heart Reports to generate some nicely formatted pdfs of both of those metrics. Heart Reports pulls directly from Heatlh. It was very convenient when my doctor wanted information on my resting heart rate.

These features should be there in the MVP for the product. PLEASE TAKE THIS REQUEST AT THE EARLIEST. One one forum i saw click on three dots and you get these options. I didnt find them. i checked if there is any upgrade for the app but there isnt. I am missin something?
