Creating an assignment in the app (not the website)

[ToddThompson1]

I can easily create an assignment on the website, but can’t find the + button (or any other way) to create an assignment on my phone or iPad. How can I do that?

Hello there, @ToddThompson1 ...

As you may have guessed, it's not always possible to do everything in a mobile app that you can do on a website using your PC or laptop.  This is also the case for the Canvas Student and Canvas Teacher apps.  If you take a look at either of these two mobile Guides:

• Canvas Teacher Android Guide - Instructure Community (canvaslms.com)
• Canvas Teacher iOS Guide - Instructure Community (canvaslms.com)

...and then search for the word "assignment", you'll come up with about 10 results on each page.  However, none of the Guides on those pages reference being able to add assignments to your course(s) via the mobile apps.

I found a similar question from back in 2020 that may be of interest:

• Solved: Canvas on iPad OS cannot create assignments - Instructure Community (canvaslms.com)

Sorry I don't have a better answer for you, but I hope this helps to answer your question in some way.
