Choose Existing

• This will allow you to use the stored images on your device. This is where the instructions differ for the different types of device.
  • Refer to the manual for your device for further details on the operations of this.

Adding More Images

• Adding the first image allows you to add further images, creating a list which can then be uploaded all in one go.

Depending on the spec of the camera on your mobile device, these images can be quite large. It is therefore important that you either have enough data on your plan to accommodate this or make sure you are connected to WiFi. It would also be beneficial to change your camera's resolution to a lower setting, around 2MP.
