If it’s possible - I would love for users to be able to take photos and save them to their account. This would be incredibly valuable. I know you can do this easily on App Sheets and Thunkable. Thanks ---

Your wish is our command. Try the [Image Picker](https://docs.glideapps.com/all/reference/components/pickers/image-picker) component. ---

I was thinking that you wanted to take pictures from within the app. ---
