Can’t understand what exactly is causing it, but clicking on adding photo on the forum on my smartphone doesn’t lead to anything other than closing the keyboard. I thought it nay be linked to permissions of apps, but iNat forum is not listed in an app list and I can’t change anything. What can be done about it? ---

Hmm, it might be device and browser specific. Which kind of phone OS/version and which mobile browser are you using? On Android 10 using the Chrome browser it shows this when I tap the little photo to add media. ![Screenshot_20200922-190559](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/inaturalist/original/2X/0/01731b0c59be032c31c565521827085e691b20e6.png) ---

I’m using not the browser one, but separate “app” which is probably just a link added to the screen. ![изображение](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/inaturalist/original/2X/6/640b640ed39aec4d69dd44043eddf8ea77594656.jpeg) I’m using Xiaomi Mi9 on Android 10, I don’t know which browser is used on it (how it’s called), it’s not Chrome. I checked it’s working in browser, but not in this “app”. But I’d like it to be working there, as it’s what I use for forum. ---

I usually just use the browser but I tried adding the link “app” to my home screen too. I get the same options as before when I click the “add photo” icon after clicking the “app” icon. Just to clarify, you mean this button right? ![Screenshot_20200922-200037](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/inaturalist/original/2X/e/ee5c4d080565603b482d4cdec9e7e47abd05463b.png) ---

Yes, when I click on it the keyboard closes and the “window” of a comment fully opens up till the bottom of the page, but nothing else happens. ---

Can you take screenshots of before and right after you tap on the add media button? You might need to report this on the main Discourse forum since it’s _probably_ not just the iNat Forum doing this. You could also test out to see if the same thing happens on their forum. [https://meta.discourse.org/](https://meta.discourse.org/) ---

Thank you! It appears it was stuck with old version of Chrome, now I onlly have to find out how to add it to the screen again, it gave e an option to do it, not it doesn’t. ---

Oh good! If you go to the forum in Chrome, then click the three dots / settings, near the bottom there is an option “Add to Home screen”. That one worked for me. ---
