Electronic Temple Recommend Format

A new Electronic Temple Recommend is being piloted in Southern California! This means you’ll be able to scan your recommend from the LDS Tools app on your phone at the temple–instead of using a paper recommend. This must be activated by the bishopric first. To activate, please follow the steps below.

1. Contact Norris Whitmore or Andrew Fischer (text please) and ask for your recommend format to be changed to the mobile format.

3. Go into Tools and either sync/refresh the data on the app or remove and reinstall the app (some have worked one way and some have worked the other). 

3. Then “Agree” to activate the recommend on their app, after which the recommend will be active on their phone.
