Struggling with Image Uploads on Medium's Android App? Let's Talk!
Written on
Chapter 1: The Upload Challenge
Hello, Medium community!
If you've ever attempted to upload a photo to your story using the Medium app on Android, you can relate to the frustration that often arises. I can certainly empathize—it feels akin to running a marathon just to get one image uploaded. Here’s a glimpse into my struggles:
Image Upload Frustrations: A staggering 99% of the time, the upload process fails. It's enough to deter anyone from wanting to enhance their stories with images.
Drafts, Drafts, and More Drafts: The instant you click on the image upload icon, the app saves your story as a draft. The reason? Who knows! It’s yet another hurdle in this uphill battle.
Screen Dimming Dilemma: The brightness of your screen unexpectedly decreases, the app freezes, and it feels as though your phone is rebelling against the image upload, much like you are.
False Hopes: When you attempt to minimize the app, you may catch a fleeting glimpse of your image gallery, leading you to think, “This might actually work!” But alas, it’s merely a cruel tease.
Dark Screen Problem: Each time you select an image, the story window reappears, and the screen dims. It’s as if the app is trying to avoid its responsibilities.
Tap, Tap, Tap: Nothing occurs until you start tapping randomly, wishing for a miracle. Just when you think you’ve triumphed, the wrong image is uploaded!
What have I attempted to resolve this ordeal?
Updating the app? Done. No success.
Changing file types? Done. Still no improvement.
Reinstalling the app? Done. Still nothing.
At this juncture, I’m convinced that this is a software glitch that only Medium’s developers can address. Until then, I remain trapped in this image upload limbo.

Let’s spark a conversation in the comments, and if this resonates with you, show some support with claps and a follow. Together, we might expedite the resolution of this bug.
