Temple worthy members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints could soon have the the option of having the temple recommend card on their phone.
According to a Church spokesperson, the rollout began Thursday with some areas getting the option to receive the sacred document on their phone. The rollout is being done in stages with Brazil, Caribbean, Central America, Mexico, North America Southwest, North America West, South America Northwest, South America South having the option available to members.
“Church members may choose one of these options, to allow them to enter a temple. For those who opt for an electronic recommend, it will be available on the Member Tools app on their phone or tablet that can be scanned at any of the Church’s temples,” a spokesperson from the Church explained.
The hope is to increase temple attendance.
“With this additional recommend option, the Church hopes it will improve and simplify the experience for all who attend the temple,” the Church said in the emailed statement.
