To take a picture

Tap the dotPhoto logo button to enter your phone’s camera mode. Take a photo; if you like the photo, tap OK. If not, tap the Retry button. Once you approve the photo, it is added to the upload queue. If you have more than one camera, you may be asked to choose an app for selecting photos. 


Wi-Fi Only Switch

Upload from your Phone’s Photo Gallery

The Gallery icon is the paper with a turned-down top corner. Tap the Gallery icon to see a gallery of photos on your phone. Depending on your Android version, there are several ways to select multiple photos. For the most recent Android versions, press and hold photos to select them. Older Android galleries have check boxes, and some early versions limit you to selecting one photo at a time. You may also be asked to choose which app you want to use for selecting photos.
