where are audiobooks located on iPhone 5

Wow, guess it makes too much sense to have them under my Audible app on my iPhone5. ***? Just glad I found it:)

Yes it does.

Why would iTunes purchases go onto some other 3rd party app?

Purchases from Audible go into the Audible app.

This is just another example of broken Apple software that gets abandoned/forgotten/unaddressed because they are too busy working on the next iPhone. Apple, please hire more help! The whole process of syncing is archaic and broken and I know a lot of people who left the Apple ecosystem because of it.

Again, you aren't talking to Apple when you post on this forum - we are all just users like yourself.

I just updated to iOS8, bought a new Audiobook and find I have NO Audiobooks from my iTunes download. No where to be found.

See if this article helps: http://www.igeeksblog.com/how-to-fix-downloaded-purchased-audiobooks-not-showing -up-on-iphone-issues-in-ios-7/

Thanks. I fixed the problem. Unbeknownst to me, iTunes was completely screwed up. A restart set it right and it was able to correctly update my iPhone. Audiobooks are back where they belong under Music. That only kept me up till 2:30 a.m.

Well, I thought I fixed it. The audiobooks are working on my iPad, but they are very broken on my iPhone5s. No sound and erratic behavior. Soon a call to AppleCare.

Request a refund because you can't play the song, that may get Apple's attention.

Thank You Andreas. Your response was very helpful in resolving the 'missing audiobook' situation.

To make your response better, I would suggest a minor amendment. Just qualify the audio app by adding (e.g. Audible) to remove any ambiguity.

Thanks again.

I took the following picture from this article. It introduces some common solutions to get audiobooks on iPhone and where to find them in the phone in a very detailed way. It really solved my problem. Hope it can help you, too.🙂

They seem to have moved it to the IBooks app.

No, they are still in iTunes.

I opened up my Audible App and there was a choice at the top to tap and open iTunes. When I did that, I saw all of the audiobooks that used to be stored in my iTunes app. Who knows? Try it, they may be there, including ones you may have purchased elsewhere.

Actually @CoachRob555 is right, audiobooks purchased on your phone, under the latest version of the store, get sent to iBooks. Make sure you have "all" selected from the dropdown menu at the top where you choose what file type to display, or if you want to see only your audiobooks there's an option for that too.
