iOS has always been a little different from Android, whether it’s the file management system, user privacy features, control and access to your device, or RAM management. Despite these differences, you’d think that basic functions like copying and pasting and uploading photos would be the same on both platforms, but that’s usually not the case.

However, these differences have been reduced in recent times with the release of Android 11 and iOS 14 respectively. If you’re having trouble uploading photos from an iOS device, we have the perfect guide for you. Let’s take a look at some of the most common ways to upload a photo via an iOS device.

Uploading photos on iOS works similarly, regardless of which app you’re using. You request an upload from the service or app, the app or service asks for permission to access your photos, you grant permanent or temporary permission depending on your preferences, select the photos you want to upload, and then tap Done. Let’s look at a few quick examples to get you more familiar with the process.

Most websites have a special button called 'Upload', 'Add Images' or something similar. You can easily upload photos to such websites as long as you can generate an upload request by tapping the special link. However, you cannot upload to websites that only support drag and drop. For this example, let's see how to upload photos and videos to Ezgif directly from Safari.
