I’ve been curious to see if anyone’s posted this yet, but no one has so I’ll do so. It’s possible to select photos in your Photos app, tap on the share button, and share them with iNat Next (I’ve blacked out my contacts in the screenshot below): [image] There’s an annoying hitch that we can hopef…

This is fixed in our current beta release: https://github.com/inaturalist/iNaturalistReactNative/releases/tag/v0.51.0%2B120

I tried today after seeing this post. You’re right, getting rid of that pop up would be good. Or if it can’t be removed, maybe making it more clear that whatever you type there is going to end up in the observation’s notes. Once something is typed there in the notes, it’s not clear to me how to dele…

I tried this today. My first attempt failed, but I’m going to assume user error, because I got it to work 3 times in a row afterwards. I agree that the text entry pop up could be removed, but even if it stays, it’s nice to have the option upload that way. Edit, I just realized that wherever you pu…

If sharing from the Gallery is not supported in the Android app I am sure I will make a Feature Request for it. And what about the storage use of this app when sharing photo’s with iNaturalist Next? https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/limit-cache-size-or-allow-cache-clearing-for-apps/2059/61

I often make a lot of observations with both, one or a number of pictures each. That is much easier in iNat next. I just don’t upload f…

Nevermind! I tried again this time selecting multiple pictures and was able to share directly with iNaturalist and the edit observation screen popped up immediately with all 3 pictures. Is this with iOS? Or a separate app? I have a friend who shared her pictures with inat and was able to post them…

I used this feature severeal times two weeks ago or so. But a least on my device it does not work anymore. I left a comment in the feedback menu when it stopped working.

It still works on mine. Have you done any recent updates?

No specific updates. It stopped working independend of an update. However just recently I updated to IOS 18.0.1, but it did not change this functionality

Has anyone tried sharing photos to iNaturalist Next?

It’s not working in iOS 18, it’s a known bug and we’ll fix it.
