Need help with Native camera feature please

Mobile Beta
1

Hi all, first of all I’m loving the new native mobile feature.

I have a question regarding the camera. As part of my onboarding process I ask the user to take a selfie then I analyze that photo.

When I use the native camera, it takes around 40 seconds to upload the image as you can see below:

image
image480×342 8.69 KB

When I check my DB, the image size seems to be 4-6MB which is an overkill, is there any way I can reduce this to like 500-600kb?

Second challenge is, I need to trigger another step after the image is captured, how can I do that? because once the image is captured I will send the user to another page.

I tried to check the forums to see if I can do a workaround, or if there’s any plugin that I can install but I couldn’t find anything yet.

Bubble needs to prioritize this ASAP. It’s a known problem that bubble is aware of.

There’s an uploadcare native plugin that makes the UX slightly better…but still not what you’d expect from native.

This is the only thing that’s stopping me from going ahead. Is there anywhere with timelines / roadmap on what they’re working on fixing and/or adding for mobile app ?

Other than this comment from a couple months ago, no.

I hope it’s a priority. Anyone building with AI is missing a critical feature - go ahead and try uploading like 5 images at one time on cell service (not wifi) and it takes unacceptably long. It’s not even usable.
