How to add photos or videos to an activity

You can attach photos and videos to any activity, such as a sticker chart or a proud moment on the potty. Photos and videos need Premium. On the free plan, tapping Add photo or the video + opens the upgrade screen.

Add a photo

  1. Start a new activity with Activity, or edit an existing one.
  2. Tap the activity type to go to its details. When you edit, the current type is highlighted; tap it to continue.
  3. Under Photos, tap Add photo.
  4. Tap Camera to take a photo, or Gallery to pick one.
  5. Repeat for more photos, then tap Save.

You can add up to 5 photos to one activity, one at a time.

Add a video

  1. On the same details screen, tap Video to open the section.
  2. Tap +, then tap Camera or Gallery.
  3. Tap Save.

You can add up to 3 videos to one activity. When you record with the camera, a video can be up to 5 minutes long.

See photos and videos

  1. On the Activities tab, tap the entry.
  2. Scroll to Photos and Video.
  3. Tap a photo or video to see it full screen.

Remove a photo or video

  1. Swipe the entry to the left and tap Edit, then tap the highlighted activity type.
  2. Tap the trash icon on the photo or video.
  3. Tap Yes on "Remove Image?" or "Remove Video?".

It's removed right away.

Uploading and storage

  • Photos and videos are saved on your phone first. When you're signed in and online, they upload in the background so your family can see them.
  • Videos are compressed before they upload.
  • To save mobile data, turn on Sync Media Only On Wi-Fi in Settings (gear icon, then Settings).
  • To see how much space they use, or to remove local copies that are already backed up, use Manage Storage in Settings. See How to change Potty Whiz settings.

Troubleshooting

  • "You have uploaded the maximum photos allowed for an activity.": the activity already has 5 photos (or 3 videos). Remove one, or add the rest to another entry.
  • The upgrade screen opens when I tap Add photo: photos and videos are part of Premium. See What's free and what's premium in Potty Whiz.
  • A photo doesn't show on another phone yet: it may still be uploading. Check that you're signed in and online, and that Sync Media Only On Wi-Fi isn't holding it back. See I have missing data or my app is not up to date.
