Users may encounter a problem on Android when attempting to upload photos. When using browsers like Chrome or Edge, the app does not allow you to choose between taking a new photo or selecting one from the gallery. Instead, it goes directly to your saved photos, preventing you from accessing the camera option.

**Additional Findings:**

- This issue persists even if the camera permissions are enabled both on the device and in the browser settings.
- This issue does not appear on Firefox, where the expected option to choose between camera and gallery works as intended.
- The “Use Device Camera” setting in Appfarm will open the camera directly, but with this option enabled, you won’t be able to select photos from your gallery.
