    Use the camera icon. Hint it only works in a Web browser. I don't see it in the app.

    If you use MFP on an Android phone, you can't - MFP and Vanilla Forums can't figure out how to get it to work with the current version of the Android operating system. If you are using an iOS phone, you can.

    Well, this question prompted me to test adding a file using the Chrome browser on my Android phone. It can be done!

    Open MFP in your Android's Chrome browser by choosing "Request desktop site" to force the Web version to open instead of the mobile version. Then use the attach file icon and browse to where your picture is stored on your phone.

    In all seriousness, if you have any teenagers around, just show them this thread and I bet they will figure it out and be able to show you. Good luck!

    Yeah, I didn't have a camera icon on my Android either. Then I did a hardware update and it reappeared. If you want to post pics, just switch to desktop view on your phone.
