How to add a photo to Instagram from your phone from the gallery to your feed and stories?

From the main profile page

There are two options for events. Now I’ll tell you everything and show you, be careful.

First option:

• First, let's go to our favorite social network - classmates.
• Once we are on our page, we begin to look for the “Photos” block.
• And there, in the upper right corner there will be “Add photo”, click on it.

• Then a window like the one below will appear.

This is Windows Explorer. All we need to do here is select the files we need, which are located on the PC. And you're done.

Second option:

You can also add a photo from the main profile page using the “Create notes” block. At first glance, it may seem that if you add a photo, it appears only in the notes, but no.

I hasten to surprise you that this function is the same as above mentioned. Perhaps this is a mistake, or maybe it was deliberately designed this way, so to speak, they showed creativity. Let's use it while it works.

Through the Photo section

The simplest and most familiar method for many, try it, perhaps it will become your favorite. We do the same work. Go to our page and click “Photo Section”. It looks like this as shown below.

I remembered the song, there are three roads, three paths, but which one should I take?

What I mean is that we now have three options:

1. We create a new album and upload the photo to it.
2. We place the pictures in our already created album.
3. Or simply click “Upload photo”.

I propose to consider each option in more detail in order to better understand what is at stake.

Creating a new album

• First, we are required to click “Create Album”.

• Then a window will appear in front of us where we need to enter the name of the album and click “Create”.

Important! I suggest you pay attention to your privacy settings. We may limit who can view our album. If the need arises, you can completely hide it from everyone and only you will see it.

• So, we have done the above steps, now we have this picture in front of us.

• Before us is the window of the album we created. Click on “Upload photos”.
• As a result, the same window called Windows Explorer will open in front of us.
• Here we select the files we need and then click “Open”.

By the way, you can simplify the situation by adding photos. We take and select the number of them we need and “Open”. At the same time, we do all this from the PC folder directly into the browser window from the Odnoklassniki website.

After all, our pictures will be loaded and you can see them on your page. A notification will also appear indicating the completion of our work.

Why are the photos not loading?

In the process of uploading photos to the site, the user may encounter some troubles. There are a lot of options for such problems, but do not despair - they are easily solved. Let's figure out why photos aren't being added.

Problems with Cookies

After visiting various sites, special files – cookies – are stored in the browser. When they are not deleted for a long time, the browser’s work with information slows down, and all sorts of errors may occur. This is one of the likely reasons why photos are not loading. To solve this, find the Cookies tab in your browser settings and click “Delete.”

Adobe Flash Player is faulty

If clearing cookies doesn't help, there may be a problem with Flash Player. Try reinstalling it: go to the official website, download the latest version and install it.

Slow Internet connection

The next reason is the low speed of the Internet connection. In this case, in addition to uploading photos, other functions of the site will not work well, for example, you will not be able to attach music. To resolve this issue, check your internet connection and contact your internet service provider.

Browser errors

If your browser gives an error when loading an image, it may be outdated or damaged. To check, try loading photos from another browser, use someone else's computer. If the download is successful using another program, you need to reinstall the browser.

Site conflict with other programs

It is possible that the software installed on your computer is blocking some functions of the site. This could be an antivirus or an ad blocker. Go to the settings of these applications and open access to the Odnoklassniki website, mark it as a verified source.

We have considered all options for adding images to the Odnoklassniki website. Now you can share them with friends and upload photos from various devices. And also post files downloaded from mail or old scanned pictures.

Add pictures using the “Upload photo” button

Guys, it is not necessary to immediately put our photographs in a new or old album. There is another interesting way. You can throw it directly into the photo section. For this we need the “Upload photo” button.

You can also use the mouse to move classmates to the window from Explorer. Don’t worry, everything will automatically be in the “My Photos” section.

So we figured out how to add a photo to Odnoklassniki from a computer to your page.

From the news feed

The very first thing we see after registering with OK is, of course, the news feed. What am I talking about all this and the fact that you can add images straight from the feed.

To do this, there is a “Photo” button just in the note-taking block that I told you about above. Our actions will be the same: click this button, then select the necessary files on your PC.

How to add a photo to Odnoklassniki from a phone or tablet?

You can add images from your phone through a specially trained OK application and through the mobile version. I don't really like the second method, so I suggest stopping and looking at the first method.

Moreover, the algorithm will be more similar to the computer version. Here we will find buttons already known to us, such as:

• In the photo section.
• On my personal page.
• In the news feed.

I will show all examples from my girlfriend’s page and from my iPhone. The process is similar with Android.

For example, in the feed everything is very transparent. In the “What’s new” column there is a section “Photos, click on it, and your photo albums will open, select the files and click “Upload”.

You can also go to your page and click “Photo.

Then all photos, as well as albums, will appear. Find the camera icon at the top and click on it. And then it’s like clockwork.

If we add our photos through the photo section, then this is basically the same as what we analyzed on our personal page. Let’s go to “Photos”, and you already know the rest.

Now you know how to add a photo to Odnoklassniki from your phone from the gallery.
