Sharing Rolex-experiences without pics!? Tapatalk not working with new iPhone Xs Max.

I wanted to share some pics, but after changing my phone to iPhone Xs Max—this is not possible!
There is no ”add pic” -possibility anymore. Hopefully there will be an update for this app to fix this. Otherwise you are forced to read some Rolex-poetry...
I tried to log on to this forum with my computer, but the pic-files are too big—I can’t share pics from my computer either!
But this actually might be interesting:

Just make it like my old one and add a few things that work...

No wonder ROLEX does such an outstanding job.

Get a third party hosting account of some sort and just post image links. Works for me. My 6S still works.

Try creating an imgur account. Once you upload photos there you can also resize so they don't look too large on the site. I've used imgur for most of my picture posts on this site.

Just cannot believe it today why some have no idea how to resize pictures, when there are free picture hosting sites. Plus the hundreds of free apps to do it on any device made today it is after all the 21st century,trouble today everyone wants it done for them, instead of using their own brains.

I have to confess: I am that idiot...
So sorry that I am causing trouble to you...
Seriously: just spending too much time with these silly devices—no desire to get one more new app and then to study how that works...
I feel that it is incredible that you need one app for writing here, then another app to add pictures... maby next time there’ll be another app for emojs...

I cheched Flickr and Imgur....
I just don’t want a new social media platform, another new app (I have already tens of apps...). No more apps for me getting access to my personal data...
I’ll just wait if Tapatalk will have an update so that one can add pics without another app. Originally I wanted this app, Tapatalk, because it was easy to add pics to this forum. But now I need another app for this... Just simply adding pics is just asking too much nowadays!!

I have no issues using Tapatalk to post photos from my iPhone Xs... maybe the issue is specific to the Max?

This is the right answer.

Resize the picture with "Image Size" from the app store. Log in on Safari and upload with the paperclip thingy.

Tapatalk and what not seem magical, but it's all glorified spyware. Third party hosting will ransom your images to you down the road (remember photobucket). Store your images in that built-in megavault on your phone, then upload the old fashioned way.
