Uploading pictures from IPhone

[NiceHard1]

I tried to search for this but could not find. If this is already here somewhere, perhaps someone could point me in the right direction.

How can I upload pics from iPhone or iPad to breeding zone??

Thanks

I'm not sure as I steadfastly refuse to use Apple products, but just make sure you strip the EXIF data off of any images you upload if you are concerned about privacy, as the iPhone saves its current GPS coordinates in the picture's metadata by default.

Like he said, iphone pics save location data. when you plug in the iphone open my computer > Apple Device > Internal Storage > DCIM. In the DCIM there is either one or a bunch of folders with weird names. Find the pic you want to upload. Make a new folder and copy the picture there.

to get rid of the data you just need to edit it in MS paint or photoshop or something. just open it, crop/resize if needed, and save. then just use a site like picpaste.com or make an album on here and find the folder you saved the picture in and upload it.

Why is it so cumbersome to post pics. I have given up and this is the only site that is so tricky to post pics. I can’t be the only one

Because every website is different, and the software package that underlies this forum works in a way you (and admittedly some others) find difficult.

Asking the forum owner/moderators here why things are difficult to use is like asking someone who composed a document in Microsoft Word why it's so difficult to insert a symbol into text, or whatever. The people who wrote the software (however long ago that was) developed the features they wanted to offer.

I've seen any number of online forum software packages (not individual forum sites, I mean the software that underlies those sites) that limit image posting - by restricting file sizes, making the upload difficult, etc. - precisely because they don't want the forum software used for, say, porn distribution.

The key point is that forum *ownerss* (like RawTop, who created this site) have to work with the tools available. Eventually, this site may move to other software (RawTop has suggested that's in the works, but it's a huge undertaking), but until it does, well, we're limited.

It's not THAT limited, either. There's just a size limit on photos and other uploaded files. The problem isn't the software; it's that modern cameras (including those in smart phones) assume everyone wants every photograph they take to be in HD-quality and taking up tens of megabytes. Maybe your ire should be directed at phone and camera manufacturers who make it hard to change the resolution for photos.

Thanks for Taking time to reply and while i might be frustrated by tech that is not intuitive, I don’t have ire as such. Certainly I can’t have ire with @Rawtop and his colleagues who run a very strong network at no cost to us in finance terms and under laws that are often whacky. My difficulty is simply that it’s cumbersome and when asked to use a URL source, I might as well be back in first year Ancient Greek. I asked Apple last year to consider asking people to test products who are non expert users. People who design often forget that some of us prefer books to e readers and fountain pens to disposable pens and paper to write letters and notes. A few years ago I was visiting a friend who asked me to look up a book reference so I took out the iPhone and another person present who was 53 years old asked me how I “could have a computer in a telephone”. Thanks for a good explanation which I appreciate.

In the past when I have had issues uploading pics from my iPhone I did this trick:

1. Send picture to yourself via WhatsApp 
2. Save picture from WhatsApp to your phone
3. Upload the saved version

Its a bit cumbersome but it works, I think the issue may also be down to apple’s “Live Photo” feature where a photo is actually a mini video, going via WhatsApp appears to strip it back to just being a normal photo and it then uploads.
