How to attach pic from iPad or iphone

**msutoad** · 12-16-2022, 05:16 PM

Hey folks-

I’m a total newbie here when it comes to posting from my phone or iPad. I am struggling to attach a pic from my device. I get to the insert image portion and select the image from my camera roll, but then it never attaches. What’s the magic to attach a pic from a device other than my PC please? Thanks in advance!

You will have to reduce the size of the photo. It's probably too large for the upload.

Thanks in advance

I have the pics down to 200k
I see the screen to select the file from my album photo roll.
Then it does nothing after selecting a file…

Okay, then you will have to load the desktop site in your mobile browser. I don't know about Safari, but in Chrome there is an option, from the hamburger menu to load the site in desktop mode.

Unfortunately, you have just tapped out this IT guys Apple knowledge. Hopefully one of the Apple guys can chime in.

LOL… Well I am a network engineer, and sometimes have some solid knowledge, and am stumped so I figured it was time to ask. I am an all apple shop at home. On my MAC it works fine, but my mobile devices not so much. Thanks for the help and replies!!!
