### What’s The Bug? Cannot recover my space with my recovery key on 0.38.X version on Android ### How To Reproduce It 1. Download 0.38.21 ver: [https://github.com/anyproto/anytype-kotlin/releases/download/0.38.21/anytype-0.38.21.apk](https://github.com/anyproto/anytype-kotlin/releases/download/0.38.21/anytype-0.38.21.apk) 2. Install it 3. Click ‘I have already key’ → Input key 4. Enter the recover button 5. Nothing happens. It remains on the recovery key input screen. ### The Expected Behavior Recover my space and sync ### Additional Context I’ve used the 0.38.21 version until 2025/10/17, And suddenly the Anytype network was incompatible since the day. And I reinstalled the version and I’ve encountered the recovery issue on 2025/10/18. Related issue: [Please restore the feature of opening a bookmark as an object when tapping it](https://community.anytype.io/t/please-restore-the-feature-of-opening-a-bookmark-as-an-object-when-tapping-it/28586) The reason that I use the 0.38.21 version rather than latest version is change of opening bookmark feature. If the option to open a bookmark as a object at default is provided for backward compatibility, I want to use the latest version. ### Device Galaxy Z Flip 5 ### OS Android 15 ### Anytype Version v0.38.21 ### Network Mode AnySync ### Technical Information Cannot enter the app, so I can’t access the info ---

Yes, I can. Recover doesn’t work only on the 0.38.x version. ---

Unfortunately, as you can log in just fine on the latest version of the app, this issue is a very low priority for us. ---

I see that some users are experiencing an issue with opening bookmark objects. I’ll discuss possible solutions with the product team — it might make sense to let users configure how bookmarks are opened themselves. ---

Thank you for the replies. If there’s a link tracking the opening bookmark object issue, I’d really appreciate it if you could share it with me. I’ll keep an eye on the discussion there. As I mentioned earlier, I’d also like to use the latest version, but the bookmark object issue is currently a blocker for me. I’m looking forward to the feature that allows users to configure it being released, rather than waiting for the bug fix in the 0.38.x version. If that feature is a low priority, I may look into alternative apps… but I’d definitely prefer to continue using this app. ---

You can follow the progress on this request here: > [@Ability to open bookmarks as objects on mobile](https://community.anytype.io/t/ability-to-edit-a-bookmark-after-adding-it/29002): > > WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND? When viewing all bookmarks in the Android app (edit: also tried iPad app and same issue there), whenever I tap on any of them, it takes me to the website instead of opening the bookmark in the app so I can edit the details. This is confusing and frustrating as I have tried to search for a way to open the bookmark to see details but couldn’t. So if this feature is already there, perhaps you can improve its discoverability and make it more intuitive to use. HOW COULD IT BE …
