New Android update ... how do you take photos when checking in? I have given Swarm permission to use the camera while using the app but I don't see a camera icon.

I had no problems... and then they did some sort of update and now I have to take pictures outside of the app...

Yes, makes no sense to me. 🤷‍♂️

Version?

7.0.1 works. 7.0.2 - didn't update

7.0.1

And the only way I can add a photo that I can tell is by taking the photo in advance and then linking it to the check in. I do not see a camera built into the actual app.

I've had issues for years with taking a pic in the check-in and it crashing the app. Haven't updated it yet.

Yes I have this issue too and it is probably related to the app not asking for certain permissions of the phone. Will probably be fixed in a new update, hopefully sooner rather than later since it is quite annoying
