How do I upload photos from an iPhone?

Updated 26 July 2026

  1. 1

    Scan the code with the Camera app

    The built-in camera reads QR codes; no scanner app is needed.

    When guest names are switched on, this is the first thing a guest sees after scanning.
  2. 2

    Tap Upload Photos in Safari

    Choose Photo Library and select what you want.

    Guests tap Upload Photos and pick from their camera roll. There is no app and no account to create.
  3. 3

    Keep Safari open until it confirms

    Switching apps mid-upload is what usually interrupts it.
