Local Graph option on IOS

iPadOS 18.5
Obsidian 1.8.10 (197)

What I’m trying to do

Access the Local Graph option on IOS (iPad and iPhone).

I cannot access the context menu when in Graph to display the Local Graph view without a physical mouse connected. Any interaction with a graph node opens it and a long-press does nothing.

Open local graph is not available from the Command palette on IOS (this would solve my problem but I cannot find the command when on IOS).

Things I have tried

I have added the Graph view: Open local graph as a pinned command to the Command palette but this does not show as an option on IOS when I open the Command palette.

However, the Open local graph is available if I am using a physical mouse, and right-click on a graph node on IOS.

Very lost and apologies if solved or being worked on.

Thanks for the detailed breakdown, David. This seems like a UI limitation on iOS—since long-press and Command Palette access to Local Graph aren’t working without a mouse, it’s likely a platform constraint rather than user error. Highlighting this issue is helpful, and your workaround using a mouse is a solid temporary fix. Hopefully, touch-accessible options will be added in future updates to improve mobile usability.

Sorry, went to update and deleted my comment…

Thanks for the reply and will keep poking around with some accessibility options to see if it solves it.

The Open local graph issue is related to having a note selected that can get lost on the smaller screen as the focus shifts away from the graph once a note is selected. If you split-screen with a note and graph active, then you can access the Local graph.

Thanks for the prompt reply.
