Before I start my project, I am trying to find out if saving images to the iOS Photo’s app is possible? I see I can save to local app storage but I am not seeing a mechanism to save to Photos.

Thank you!!

Hi @johnny_ufology thanks for reaching out. Welcome to Thunkable!

We don’t unfortunately have a way in Thunkable apps to write directly to the camera roll. For uploading an image, you would want to save the image in the cloud using a service like Cloudinary.

I created an example of how to do this. Its not a direct way to save an image but its a work around. Click save photo on the then click save image from the IOS share menu
