FWIW, eBird is used extensively internationally. There are some equivalents specific to certain countries but I don’t know what they are. Merlin relies on being trained from user uploaded recordings posted to Macaulay Library, via eBird, so the more people participate the better it becomes.
I’ve used Seek and iNat in Europe and it worked really well still.
Idk, I see this as a plus. It sucks when one android user in a group chat gimps file sharing for everyone.
