Hello. Just got the newest iPhone and am trying to attach pics through the app. I don’t have an attachment button for photos. Thoughts?

I used the mobile browser and all is good. Maybe you can look into this for me though?

Not a user of the app myself. I've found it easier just to use a web browser whether on the phone or tablet.

When you are entering your reply, hit the + symbol on the left. That will let you select either the camera to take a picture, or the photo album to upload a previously taken photo.

I’ve found the iOS app to be buggy. Many times, as I am scrolling, UI elements end up floating above the content and obscuring it. I usually have to force-quit the app and relaunch it. I’m an iOS developer, and it appears that the app is made with a cross-platform technology rather than being a native app, which isn’t easy for me to diagnose issues with since I’ve never developed with a cross-platform technology.
I find that if I rotate my device when UI issues arise, they are sometimes fixed. Have you given that a try?

It's my understanding the app is an adaptation or derivative (if that's the correct word to use) of Tapatalk. I'm not tech savvy so that may be what you're referring to when you say cross-platform. Then again, it may not be...lol.
Bottom line for me is I've never had much luck with TT or the app.

When I say cross-platform, I’m referring to technologies that are typically derived from web technologies that allow apps to be built for Android and iOS, using a single codebase.
Typically, native apps for iOS are built using Xcode (development program) and Objective-C or Swift (languages), while Android apps are built using Android Studio (development program) and Java or Kotlin (languages).
Native apps are deployed to each platform, respectively, while cross-platform apps can be deployed to both platforms after being built with a single codebase. Native apps use the native platform’s technologies so that the app feels “at home” on the platform. Cross-platform apps typically have a feeling of being a website wrapped in a user interface that looks like it belongs on the native platform.
Some benefits of native apps are the ability to use native technology, such as location tracking, health tracking, etc. The downsides are that you need developers to build an Android app and developers to build an iOS app.
Some benefits of building a cross-platform app are the ability to have developers build a single app that can be deployed to both platforms. The downsides are that they usually don’t feel native and they don’t get full access to things like location tracking, health tracking, etc.
Sorry for the tangent. It’s hard for me to stop talking nerdy after I get started. Ha ha

Under your phone settings scroll down to the Reef2Reef app. Make sure you have the Camera access turned on and Read and Write enabled on the photo's.
You may need to restart your phone to see the changes right away. That may work for you.
