Posting photos from iDevices

[rOmiLaYu]

While this tutorial is aimed squarely at all devices Apple, the same can be done substituting more Android appropriate names. This tutorial is aimed at the iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch.

Attention ODT, are you tired of posting "text for pics" or "can email pics" or "can't get pics to work?" Well, Uncle Romi is here to help. Here's a quick "how to."

Step One: Take a picture. Open your photo app and take a pic...it should look like this.

Step Two: Go to the App Store (or whatever it is that Android calls it) and download the photobucket app. NOTE: If you do not have a photobucket account, you'll need to sign up for one. It's free and sign up takes less than two minutes with only an email address required. It should look like this.

Step Three: Load up the photobucket app and press the up arrow in the top right of the screen, select "Photo Library" and then select the picture you wish to upload. Once uploaded, tap the pic and it will load full screen. Tap the chain link in the upper right hand corner and it will give several options. It should look like this.

Step Four: To post in your add, tap the "IMG Code" text and it will copy to the clipboard and then paste that into add. Voila, ODT. You can haz pics.

FYI, this entire post was done from an iPad.

Good luck out there, ODT!

This is the process I use for my iPhone 8. I ignore folks that post ads that they can’t (or won’t) upload pictures. I don’t pass along my cell phone number until the deal is close to being finalized and we’re in the final stages of coordinating a meeting.

I would add one other piece of advice. Most smartphones embed location data in photos. They use the GPS chip in your phone to append the geolocation data (Lat/Long) to the meta data of the photo. I would use an exif removing app to strip that data out before you post. Otherwise you could be exposing the lat/long for your home for example.
