My iPhone has just been updated and now has the Journal app. My iPad has also been updated to 17.2 but I don’t see the Journal app. I have tried using the iPhone version but I would much rather use the iPad and a keyboard to make notes about my day than the iPhone
iPad Pro (5th generation)
Makes me wonder what they were thinking to launch on the iPhone…. A journal app should have launched with the Mac or the iPad devices with a keyboard. They always seem to be one step behind what we want.

Why are you asking us? No one participating in this forum can do that. You can let Apple know your thoughts are:
Meanwhile, there are hundreds of journal apps available that work on the iPad and most of them are better than Apple's app. Or, you could just use Notes. Journals don't require anything special. For the first 20 years of my journal-keeping life, I used artist's sketchbooks. They were cheap, relatively durable and had good quality paper.

No one participating in this forum can add the Journal app to iPadOS. Apple doesn't read here in this user-to-user forum for feedback or suggestions. You can, however, let them know your thoughts here:

I keep hoping it comes to iPad. It would be a lot easier for me to type things out on the iPad using my Magic Keyboard
You should tell Apple what you'd like to see here:

Copied from the post immediately before yours:
Hello~ This is a technical forum where other forum members try and assist with technical issues. You are not speaking to Apple and this is not a Journaling platform to express “your” thoughts. I would encourage your to let Apple know as noted here many times before…
Happy Solstice!
Where is the journal on this ipad
Please add the journal app to the iPad models. You have this backwards when it should have gone on the iPad first then the phone it only makes sense..

Day One has been my diary for a couple of years now, but it is a bit overloaded for my purpose, and the yearly subscription is not particularly cheap. I am hoping for both iPad OS and Mac OS versions of Apple Journal, fingers crossed!
Definitely submit feedback to Apple.
PLEASE provide us with an iPad version of Journal! I have recently discovered that writing is so good for my mental health! I start with ideas/chapter titles and it is hard to type my heart out on a small iPhone screen. Much appreciated!

What's stopping you? Apple's app is far from the only (and, in my opinion, far from the best) journal app out there. You can even just use Notes.
The Journal app should be on all apple devices and should link like all other apple programs. Be able to start a thought on my iPhone, then sit down and sketch it out on the iPad, then plop my butt in front of my MacBook and type out the rest of my thoughts... Seriously what's taking so long? I really liked how it was pulling the picks of my camping trip into my journal as I was adding some thoughts about how the trip was going. But honestly I'm a bit wordy and I'm not going to type all my thoughts in with my thumbs, or rely on voice recognition to get it right... Defiantly don't want to be staring at my phone's small screen while doing my journaling, and reflecting on the photos or any other media being added...
It should have ways to add photos, sketch in ideas, pull in the song playing in my head while being searchable on all my devices with the ability to compose my thoughts on any of my devices using any media I have handy...

Please add the Journal app to IPad. Had my IPhone stolen in Spain and can’t journal about my anger, sadness, and feelings of violation. That is on my IPad.
No one reading your post can do what you want. You need to tell Apple. I've given the feedback link at least once a page I this thread.
People have been keeping journals for hundreds (thousands?) of years, long before iPhones and iPads. Nothing was stopping you from writing things in Notes and then later copying and pasting that into Journal later.
You will need to ask Apple about their plans - we are just other users with no special insider knowledge - sorry.
Will there be a journal app on the iPad as there is now on the iPhone?
