Giray Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 I wish there was a way to take a picture with an iPhone (or Android), assign an IPS album, tap-tap and the image is uploaded. We can upload direct to IG, FB, Tw, why not IPS? Did I miss something that exists or is it simply not technically possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrowman Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Hi, Still not getting any suggestions after so long? I wonder if you have found any solution. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Calvert Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 This would require some sort of native app which IPS is not supporting. So don’t expect this sort of functionality anytime soon given they abandoned the idea of developing a native app in favor of PWA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ehren Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Attaching images using your phone camera has been around for some time, and is available in both v4 and v5. The "Add Files" button will appear if your device supports that feature. SeNioR- 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feneroin Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 (edited) I've tried from my smartphone Android and it seems working... Taken photo directly from my Honor Magic5 Pro Maybe your settings/permissions are not set properly @Giray ? Edited April 22 by Feneroin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrowman Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 The problem here is that iPhone uses the HEIC format to save space, among other things. This means that the user must change the settings before uploading any images to the Community Gallery. Apple was the first major adopter of the format in 2017 with the introduction of iOS 11. While HEIC became the standard for iPhones, it is still possible to reverse the setting to allow photos to be recorded in the more recognizable JPEG format.

PalmTalk Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 So, is there any way to configure things so that HEIC photos can be uploaded and viewed within the post like a .jpg? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HEIC is only supported by Safari at this time and minimal at that: https://caniuse.com/?search=heic . If it ever becomes more widely supported, I'm sure, we'd improve how they get embedded.

David N. Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 The ideal solution would be if any photo/video format could be converted on the fly to something useable, the way Facebook does it. 13. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it ever becomes more widely supported, I'm sure, we'd improve how they get embedded. It is highly unlikely to happen due to the licensing issues surrounding HEIC, and also due to the existence of a comparable or superior free and open-source alternative: AVIF. Therefore, the best way to handle HEIC files is to: Add AVIF support to Invision Community (embedding and quality settings). AVIF is supported by all current browsers and is currently the best format in terms of compression/quality. Convert all uploaded HEIC files to a format selected from the uploader options (AVIF, WEBP, JPEG) in Admin Control Panel, with AVIF as the default choice.

opentype Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 It’s worth noting that image processing is handled through server modules like GD or ImageMagick. It can take a few years until new formats are supported and the server packages get updated to make these changes available for hosting customers.

13. Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 Both AVIF and HEIC have been supported in GD and ImageMagick for quite some time now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
