How to add photos?

Sometimes people’s posts show up on my homepage, and they have photos attached. How do I do that? It seems like the only option is to post a progress pic, but I’m wondering how people post pictures of their food/pets/etc.

    You can only post them using the app, not the website. On the app when you go to add a status there is an option for "add photo" on the bottom.

    Hi Mike. I’m using the app, but when I try ‘add photo’ on my status, it just asks if I want to use a progress photo from today or a previous day.

    Does the MFP app have permission to access your photo album and camera? Check your phone and app settings if you haven't already.

    Hmm what phone operating system are you using. This is what I see on android.

    It’s an iPhone. I’ll check my phone/app settings & see if it makes a difference.

    No joy. App has camera/photo permission already. Grr.

    I wonder if it is just available on android? I am curious what other iphone users see.

    Yes. I gather this is annoyingly only an option for Android users. So frustrating. MFP just thanked me for my feedback when I asked for it on iOS 🙄 can’t see it coming to Apple any time soon 😔

    Thanks for confirming, Sarah! At least I know I’m not just technologically dumb 😀
