Retrieving vs. computer mobile games?

I was playing against the computer on my phone yesterday and had a couple great games against magnus bot where I held equality for 60+, wanted to analyze them today but I can't find it anywhere on my account- I only see my vs. computer games that were played on my laptop in my archive. Anyone know if/how I can find these games?

Unfortunately, I play the part of the bearer of bad tidings in this scenario. TwoDeuce, my dearest chum, I will keep this brief. It would seem that the hooligans (pardon my French) who developed the chess.com app neglected to consider the possibility that their users would want to access their old games against bots on the app and instead opted to direct their attention more toward the platform that would allow serious games with serious calculation speed. The website tailors to those who play chess in a less casual setting it would appear... Dire indeed. A truly tragic tale of how Steve Jobs failed us once from beyond the grave. If only, If only the iPhone prices were based upon processing speed for chess.com bots and not upon the monopoly that this now trillion-dollar company possesses then perhaps chess.com would have given more energy to this phenomenon. Best of luck on your chess journey, TwoDuece. I have the upmost confidence that we will see a draw out of Magnus on the laptop from you in the near future... I bid you adieu.

Computer games on the mobile apps (iPhone, Android) don't get automatically saved to your Archive like they do when you play on the web interface using your PC. (I think it's because you don't need a network connection to play the bots on mobile).

However, if you do have a strong network connection to Chesscom on your mobile Android device, you can select Options in the lower left corner of your game and select Save to Archive, but this functionality doesn't exist on iOS devices yet, but is promised soon 😊.

You copy the pgn and save it in your library for next time.

That is what I’d do with prepared lines.

That's a clever idea for mobile iOS! You can play the computer on the iOS Mobile app, copy the PGN, and save it using the web interface to your Library.

By the way, I've submitted a ticket to give us access to the Library on the mobile apps. They said it's in Chesscom's plans to do so, but they could not give me a timeline. The more users that submit a ticket for Library access on mobile apps, the better wink.
