I see that photos can be posted from a cell phone but have absolutely no idea how to do it. I have a run of the mill Samsung phone and A Microsoft computer program. Nothing fancy. I think it is windows 7 that has been updated. Is there a list of instructions on how to do it. It needs to be like press button A then C then -- something that a computer dunce can follow. I can send photos via email (sometimes)
I use the Lit Photo app as well.Another way is to simply send yourself the picture in a text, your phone will automatically resize the photo. Then click in the picture that you have sent yourself and save it into downloads. You can attach the picture in GTA from that resized download. The picture below started out at 2.13 Mb but after my phone resized it it's now 196.2 KB.
Apologies for adding to your headache, but this is the one I use https://postimages.org/. It is free, it creates the link and copies it to your clipboard and all you have to do is paste it into your forum reply.

Well… I just tried the “mail the pic to yourself” hack, again… I’m not sure why… I guess it’s like randomly running into your ex after a couple years, and hit it off again; forgetting why she’s your ex… Needless to say, it didn’t allow me to post the pic, therefore why bother with the thread… Seriously… I know I’m heaping the dust of a horse long dead, and beating it, and lighting it afire, but… It’s 2021… With all the changes we, the board, and the world have gone through… Is there really no way to just post a pic from our phones? Seriously folks. It’s 2021, and the phones are only going to get better. The files are going to continue to grow in size, and people are going to rely on their phones more than ever to take pics; which is already the number one way people take pics now. By a gargantuan margin…Siiigh… I give up. Again. It’s just not worth the effort. Rant off…

Texting should do the same automatically.

Texting should do the same automatically.I must not have. Otherwise it would have worked? I don’t know how you’ve had the patience to answer this same question all these years… I mostly read now. Still love airgunning though. But I’ve never had the acumen to earn my Black Belt in GTA photo attachment theory… It just shouldn’t be this difficult to post a pic. And it’s been this way since I joined. It’s not gonna become easier for the forum as tech continues to grow. The gulf is only going to continue to widen. With the prospective audience the only one in motion. I’m sure in the future I’ll have an airgun moment that inspires me to get my 12 point Kata down just so I can post from an ordinary device that’s three years old. But today isn’t that day. I just don’t know how you do it… Patience runs strong in you. And the board, and membership are better for it…

I use my cell phone for taking pictures, surfing the web, hanging out on GTA, and, yes, posting the pictures I've taken on my phone and directly posting it here. So, yes, you can absolutely post pictures directly from your phone onto GTA posts.
