@Ninovolador, was this in the iOS app or Android app? Please don't forget to add projects when creating tasks.

Sorry about my grammar, i don't speak english very well.
I meant "this should be done (...)"

So, no, this feature was never in the app, but i think it should be

The apps don't yet allow you to upload photos to nearby places, so I'm not sure how loading even more nearby items would help.

The old fashioned way

I want to check if i could upload a photo to Commons. All places near me (~2 km) already have pictures, so i want to go a little farther. Load more items, I notice there is some place i could go easily. I took the photograph and upload to Commons. Then add it to Wikipedia.

Ah, I see. The apps are doing a 10km query, but only returning the first 50 results. We'll have to see if the API can do "query continue" on nearby requests...

That would be nice

(Also, 10 km is a nice distace to go biking and taking photos ;) )

Per Max, I created a task in MediaWiki-extensions-GeoData:

The problem is knowing where to start the search from. A search radius of say 1000km would be too expensive. It sounds like what you really want is a map view where you can explore a map for a location to find articles nearby (sadly blocked by T35980). Nothing really mobile web can do in mean time.

Note: on mobile web you can provide your own parameters:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Nearby#/coord/0,0

Hmm I wasn't looking to expand the search radius to 1000km, just to be able to page past the first 50 results of a 10km query.

Nearby does not support pagination. That blocks us from proceeding on doing this.

fwiw, the CirrusSearch search engine now supports nearby keywords and does pagination. Results are not sorted by distance like Special:Nearby, but various boosting tricks can achieve similar results
