How to add a photo from your VKontakte phone

We are launching a mobile application for Android VKontakte. Click on the camera icon, which means “My Photos”. Click on the album to which we want to add the image:

In the upper right corner, click on the plus sign:

From the drop-down list, select “Load from gallery”. This means that the photo will be downloaded from your phone's memory. If you select “Take a photo”, then naturally the photo you take now will be loaded into the album:

Well, that’s all, I explained to you the main aspects of uploading photos to the VKontakte social network.

Instructions for computer

If you access a social network using a PC or laptop, then all the necessary images must first be loaded into the computer’s memory or onto a flash drive, which you can then connect to the device. It is also advisable to remember the location of the desired file in the folders. This is a general condition for the stated purpose. Further actions depend on what exactly you are looking for: how to add a photo to an album in VK or just upload it to your profile and post it on the wall?

On the page

So, here’s how you can add a photo from your computer to your page on VK:

• Log in to your account and click on the “Photos” section on the left side of the menu.

• At the top left, you can see a blue button that says “Add Photos.” Click on it.

• Find the file you need in your computer's memory and click on it. You can mark multiple images this way.

• Click on “Open”. Wait for the images to load.
• Now you can make a caption for the image (if there are several of them, then for each one), and also, if necessary, expand the picture to full screen or edit it using the built-in photo editor. Also, at this stage you can delete files if some of them were downloaded by mistake. It’s better to do everything at this stage so that you don’t waste time later deleting the album or individual list items.

To the album

If you want to upload a picture to one of the albums, then click on the corresponding button and select the album. Also, you can simply select the “Publish on my page” option, in this case the image will not be attached to any album - this way you can add the photo to VK in “my photos”.

• Ready!

In recording

If you are planning to write a cool post, then it would be a good idea to attach an image to it. As practice shows, posts with pictures make users “hang” on them longer. Therefore, if you are still thinking about how to add a photo to a VK post, run to the social network and click on the line “What’s new?” at the top. Enter your text and then tap the camera icon.

Select the image you need from those already uploaded to the network, or click on the “Upload” button.

All that remains is to indicate the file address and publish the post. As you can see, nothing complicated.

In conversation

It would be very strange if the developers did not provide the ability to upload a picture in a message. But thanks to them, the option is still there. In order to add photos in a VK message, open the conversation you are interested in. There is a camera icon at the bottom, click on it.

Enter the address of the desired file, wait for it to download and click send.

We figured out how to add photos to your page, but how to do this in a group or community? We'll tell you about this later!
