For this reason. I have stopped using the new app, and gone back to the old one.
I routinely upload photos on iNaturalist from my phone. I am also concerned that I cannot upload more than one photo of each specimen. It is my habit to take multiple pictures to make it easier to identify. This is especially true with arthropods where different shots show mouthparts, antennae, eyes, etc. I hope this issue can be corrected.
you can definitely upload more than one photo of each specimen
if you’re using Simple Mode, long hold the green observation button and a pop-up menu will appear allowing you to import multiple photos from your camera library. Or, go to your settings and toggle on Advanced Mode, and this menu will appear from a ‘normal’ short tap on the observation button, as well as allowing you to take multiple photos at once for an observation within the app itself
I like the feature to group photos to one organism, but it’s definitely not intuitive. I also wonder how many people are using the original app vs the new app. I’ve ended up using both - the new app doesn’t have some of the same features, and it still has a time bug when uploading RAW photos from ios.
I have not used the new app. (@tiwane this is also why I didn’t respond to your question about pain points…..sorry) it seemed to still be in beta/development mode? I could very much be wrong, and probably am, but it just seemed like it’s had issues. I also wasn’t sure why, in the Apple App Store, it says it takes more data from my phone than the iNat classic app.
INat classic does the basics. Do I wish it did more? Absolutely, I just - I guess I haven’t seen a reason to switch yet. 
Me too. I have yet to figure out how to add multiple photos to an observation in the field with the new iNat app for iOS. I keep trying. I switch to the old app for multiple photo observations.
I rarely upload photos (or sounds) in the field, for several reasons. AND, I NEVER EVER EVER use the in-app camera.
- Enables me to take alot more photos, then edit to crop, adjust lighting etc, or delete bad ones later while having a beer.
- Taking alot of photos eats the phone battery too early. Sometimes I need to use Alltrails or google maps to find my way around (and back), so I don’t want my bettery to die (again)
- I can better upload the photos in the sequence I want, pretty much as many as I want
- I can take time to research each obs when connected to wifi so as to get the most accurate ID possible
- Saves me time in the field, time better spent finding subjects and taking photos
- I can upload photos later whenever I have time, even days or weeks later

If you’re referring to Android, yes. If you’re referring to iOS, no, it’s not in beta but it’s of course still being developed like any app is.
The problem was fixed after I deleted the new app and re-downloaded it.
