I’m building a app where i take a photo and it displays in the image area. I can get it to display correctly but i want to make it so everytime i open the app it shows up in the image area. Im pretty sure i would use local storage but cant figure it out. Please Help.

Hi there,
I always use stored variable to store in the app.
You can try it.
If you want to show it to let everyone able to look.You can use cloud variable by Firebase.
Either you can use Airtable Spreadsheet to do it so.
Hope these help to you.
