I couldn’t find another post that could help me with this. How do I post pics on my profile? Not the regular profile pics, in the newsfeed? Any help would be appreciated.

    I have exactly the same question. Many people told me that there's a camera icon, but it doesn't appear on my phone. I have an iPhone. For what I know, you can only upload pics from the app. There is only one way I upload a picture: I have to load it as a "progress" picture: + (at the bottom of the page on the app on the newsfeed)--> Status -->Add progression image--> Add image.

    iPhone? I don’t know if it’s different. And I don’t know if there’s a better or easier way but I have to go to where I can enter my weight and upload a pic. And then I can do a status update I believe it’s called. Again....maybe I’m doing it a dumb way. I can post some screenshots if this is confusing. Let me know.

    you have to do it on the phone app.

    click on the '+' sign at the bottom

    update status

    add progress photo

    click the one photo option (the square to left)

    import photo from (whatever date you have available)

    find the photo

    next at top right of screen

    scroll through the 'frames' and select the one you want

    type your comment about the photo

    click the check mark at top right

    voila! you are done!

    @callsitlikeiseeit thank you for the details. I’ve been trying this for months on my iPhone & iPad but missing something.

    Are you giving permission on your iPhone for MPF to access your photos?

    I wasn’t getting to my photo roll to choose the pic. It wasn’t going to my newsfeed, just to the tiny icon for progress. (Can others even see the progress photos?)
    I was clicking on the photo option on the right and not seeing the next choice.

    I followed your instructions to the letter and it works perfectly for me now. So thanks again. I also thought it was permissions, that was the first thing that I checked.

    To add photos on your timeline, you have to be on the app.

    On your timeline, click on 'Share Something' on your timeline; then click on 'Add Photo' at the bottom of the next screen that comes up.

    FYI - on the app, your Progress photos are not visible to anyone else unless you share them.

    Word to the wise... make sure before you click the check mark, you click on 'Share With' and select 'MyFitnessPal Friends' or the whole community will get to see your post...

    Hope that helps.

    PS - did you know that you can create your on blog on MFP? And... if you know HTML, you can post pics there too?
