we were having api performance issues earlier with image uploading but things should be fine now
on android the way image uploading behaves seems to imply you can only upload one image. on ipados i was able to do multiple fine but on android it’s like, you select an image and it acts like you can select multiple but when you select the next one it unselects the other so i thought you could only do one
hmm i would try picking one then hitting the image picker again? might be something about how it presents multiple images in javascript. straight up impossible for me to reliably test shit on android still.
yeah i think it does work if you upload one at a time android just seems to think that’s not how it works for some reason
it might be a mobile thing? i can upload four images at a time on desktop without issue
oh for me it just doesnt let me upload them simultaneously but i can just do one after the other onto a single post
ohhhhh hmmm yeah on my phone when i select an image it only lets me do one but one my ipad if i do one after the other it does work
i can't multi-select images in the dialog box for whatever reason but i can keep hitting the image button and it appends each one as i go
