When the Journal app will be on iOS?

No one here can answer why questions. This is a user to user only forum and no one from Apple is here.

Suffice to say, it is currently only available for iPhone. Whether it will be released for iPad/Mac, only Apple knows.

You can tell Apple what you'd like to see here --> Feedback - iPhone - Apple

The Journal app is coming to iOS later this year. If that changes, it will likely be reflected on the iOS 17 features page, seen here: iOS 17 - Apple

Meanwhile, take a look at Day One. It is, in my opinion, a far better app than this initial release by Apple. It's available on iOS, iPadOS, Mac and from a browser.

You've made a mistake. The Journal app was made available as of iOS 17.2 (already noted in this thread).

iOS 17.3 is still in beta.

Yes, the Journal app is here, it will be automatically downloaded by updating to 17.2. However, I haven't found it on the App Store for now, I suppose it will be added soon.

Too bad it is not on iPad and Mac. I hope they will add it soon.

Still waiting for the iPhone Journal Ap to be available and synchronise on macbook : sometimes you really need a proper sized keyboard to type on and use other functions such as translate/ copy etc

Apple has, to date, given not indication that they are going to release a version of Journal for either the Mac or iPad. You can let them know your thoughts here:

Meanwhile, there are lots of jouraling apps that do have versions for all three devices. Many of them are more mature than Apple's app.

Man, can't wait for it. Notes under "lock" are just not a good fit for my personal journal entries. Search is crippled, no ability to insert media, not separated enough from other notes. Journal is such a good fit for this.

You might want to take a look at Day One. It's available for both iOS and macOS. Handles media very well. I've been using it for over a decade.

Thanks, I have already written that to Apple.

I know Day One as well since long time, but I definitely prefer the idea of an integrated Apple Journal app. I hope they will develop it further, and integrate it with the system more and more. We'll see.

This is a user-to-user forum. No one here knows anything other than what Apple has publicly stated which is "later this year".

The journal app is coming out on IOS 17.2.

You are not able to get it in IOS 16. The journal app will be in the App Store

i believe the initial release of the app will exclusively on the iPhone.

I think it’s going to be really cool regardless. I’ve been quite sceptical about the Apple Watch since its launch, but the introduction of the Journal app and how it will draw upon location, workouts etc now makes me really want a watch.

Apple haven’t shown much of the Journal app off yet, but I do think it has the power to establish journaling securely in a lot of people’s lives like mine, given it’s a native app, with privacy-focused access to location, health data etc. I personally haven’t established a regular journaling routine ever, but I think the multimedia integration of the Journal app might well help me.

No one knows exactly when the journal is released. But the features of this journal are very different from similar applications in the AppStore. Can't wait for the release of the Journal app on iOS 17 🥰
