Kuika's Photos From Gallery action is used to select photos from your device's gallery and upload them to your app. It allows users to easily share their visual content and transfer their selected photos to the server for processing or storage in your app. By presenting the photo selection process in a user-friendly way, it creates a more fluid and interactive experience in your app.

For example, when a user selects a photo from the gallery, this action ensures that the photo is successfully uploaded to the app and processed on the server. In this tutorial, you will learn how to select and upload photos from your gallery using the Photos From Gallery action.

Photos From Gallery action is supported in web and mobile apps.
