About Member Tools

Member Tools version 5.7 is planned for release around November 2026, bringing helpful improvements and new features designed to make it easier to serve, lead, and stay connected.

• Create, Edit, and Share Calendar Events: Leaders can create and edit events within the app and choose to add them to their ward or branch’s public-facing Event Sharing webpage.

• Identify Potential Duplicate Payments: Payments which are potentially duplicated will now be flagged for review by leaders.

• Restrict self-approval of Expenses: Leaders with approval rights cannot approve expenses when they are the payee or recipient.

• Available in More Languages: Member Tools is now available in Afrikaans, Amharic, Arabic, Simplified Chinese (Written), Fijian, Macedonian, Marshallese, Persian (Farsi), and Swahili.

• iOS 27 Support: Member Tools has been optimized for iOS 27 and now supports App Intents, enabling deeper integration with iOS features such as Search.

Here’s a quick tour of features currently available in Member Tools.

• Home: Choose the experience you prefer—Dashboard Tiles or Menu. Resize, reorder, and recolor tiles (and hide or unhide them) to make Member Tools feel tailored to you.
• Search: Find what you need in seconds. Search by member name, calling, or tile name—fast and simple.
• Menu: Get where you’re going quickly. Use the menu for direct access instead of scrolling through tiles.
• Profile: Keep your information up to date. Update contact details, adjust visibility settings, upload household photos, and view membership and household details—all in one place.
• Settings: Make the app fit your preferences. Switch between light and dark themes, set photo download options, and help former mission leaders stay connected with you.
• Help: Stay in the know. See what’s coming, what’s new, find answers to FAQs, and share feedback to help improve the app.
• Sync: Keep things current. Turn on automatic sync or manually sync whenever you want.
• Actions and Messages: Stay informed. See action items that need attention and read messages from Church headquarters and area offices.
• Directory: Connect with members quickly. Access contact information and photos for members in your ward or branch and stake or district—including those you minister to.
• Manage Records: Streamline administrative work. Bishops, branch presidents, and clerks can easily create and move records, record ordinances, and approve member photos—all in one place.
• Organizations: See ward or branch and stake or district organizations at a glance. View callings and members by organization—and leaders can record and update callings quickly.
• Calendar: Plan and share events. View ward or branch and stake or district calendars, manage visibility, and make activities public so friends of the Church can see and RSVP.
• Member Lists: Work together more easily. Create custom lists of members in your ward and stake for simpler communication.
• Meetinghouses: Find meetinghouse information fast. Get locations, addresses, sacrament meeting times, and an option to send a message to the bishop or branch president.
• Ministering: Minister with confidence. View assignments and resources, and leaders can record interviews quickly.
• Finance: Simplify finance tasks. Submit payment requests, donate online, review and approve expenses, and bishops and branch presidents can record tithing declarations—all in one place.
• Missionary: Stay connected. Access contact information for missionaries serving in or from your ward and introduce friends to them.
• Temple and Family History: Worship in the house of the Lord. View your recommend and nearby temples, check ordinance schedules, submit names to the prayer roll, find family names with Ordinances Ready, and set reminders for recommend expiration. Leaders can issue and activate recommends too.
• Reports: Lead with insight. Ward and stake leaders can view and update membership reports, including confirming required training for leaders and teachers of children or youth. Teachers can also track class attendance and view an attendance summary.

Since its introduction in 2010, the Member Tools app has grown from a digital directory of ward or branch and stake or district members to a powerful tool with additional capabilities supporting both members and leaders throughout the Church.

As we continue to add helpful features, the app will eventually be renamed Member and Leader Tools. New features being added are the result of the Church conducting extensive research with members around the world.

As we make progress over the coming years, we will continue to update this article so you can learn about and prepare for upcoming features before they’re released.

Member Tools helps members and leaders progress, minister, serve, lead and administer in the Savior’s way.
