Take and send photos from the companion app

3 min readApplies to: Every role · iPhone and Android app

Every shot lands straight in your workspace.

Take a photo or video in the companion app, or pick one you already have. It goes straight to your workspace's shared library, ready to become a post.

Open Wallflower

1. Open the Capture tab #

   Tap Capture at the bottom of the app.

   

2. Take a photo or pick one #

   Tap Camera to take a photo or video now, or Camera Roll to pick from your phone.

   If you pick several at once, they show as a list under Add to library. Remove any you don't want, then send them all together.

   Type	Formats	Max size
   Photos	JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, HEIC	50 MB
   Videos	MP4, MOV, WebM	100 MB

   

3. Add a note (optional) #

   Tap Add a note about this one (optional) and type a line about the photo, like "first batch of rye this fall." It helps Wallflower when it drafts a post from the photo.

   

4. Send it #

   What you see depends on your role:

   • Companion users tap Send to library.
   • Owners, admins and editors choose Create a post or Save to library.

   Create a post asks Wallflower to draft a post from the photo. The line under the buttons tells you what happens next, based on your workspace's approval setting. For example: "We'll draft your post. Log in to Wallflower Social HQ to review and publish it."

   NoteIf your workspace lets posts go out without review, Create a post can write and schedule a post with no approval step. See Let posts go out on their own.

   

5. Wait for "Upload complete" #

   A progress bar shows while the file uploads. When it says Upload complete, tap Capture another to keep going.

   If the upload fails, tap Retry upload. If you close a photo before sending it, the app asks first: tap Keep editing to save it, or Discard.
