Another tip to improve the accuracy of your photos is to wait maybe 30 seconds to take a photo after switching your phone on. This gives the GPS time to get a more accurate location. Or if you're taking multiple photos, upload the last one first since it will have a better location.
You can also check your location when you enter an observation. It will show a location accuracy distance and circle of the location of the observation.
Interesting, thank you. I only just learned that I can get locations on my photos and then it makes iNaturalist easier to use. I'm going to check this tonight for my dozens of photos.
Just finishing uploading all our findings from Queen Elizabeth Park today - wonderful afternoon! Thanks for IDing some of my pics. Fave find - a Porcelain Slimecap. Apparently...
Great article…hope it’s gets more people involved.
Thanks, I hope so too.

I do wish the iNaturalist app prompted people to confirm the location, particularly when the accuracy is greater than say, 10m.
It can be frustrating trying to find an observation when the accuracy is larger.
Hope the uploading went well!

Nice, they're a pretty fungus. I found a new patch of an uncommon filmy fern, which I'm quite pleased about.
Very useful Melanie. Thank you.
