Feature Request: Add support for pasting images on iOS.
Problem
One of the most common flows for sharing images on iOS is to copy the image somewhere and paste it somewhere else, and NewDot does not support that flow. For example, I wanted to share an image I found on Google in New Expensify. The first thing I did was copy the image to my clipboard, but when I long-pressed on the composer to try and paste that image, the only option available was AutoFill.
This left me with two more less desirable options:
- copy the URL to the image, then write that URL in a markdown comment with inline image syntax (this was the next thing I tried, and it actually didn't work for the URL I had)
- save the image to my photos, then upload it to New Expensify. This is less ideal because it pollutes my photos gallery with something I don't want to keep there.
This was a very basic flow that did not work very well at all, and it was a frustrating experience. It's table-stakes for any chat app.
Solution
Implement support for pasting images on iOS.
