I used to upload and download my photos fine from my samsung mobile phone. This is being showed to me since the past 5 days all of a sudden.
Is it really a problem of my phone ??
They're flat out lying to you...
Most people would just stop trying to use that service at that point
You have an option in your settings to request "desktop mode" which may change this.
They probably want to increase the number of users on their app and are trying to force mobile users over, the "not powerful enough" statement is likely a lie.
Sounds like you don't need that shit app.
"Not powerful enough" lol - BS excuse for wanting you to use the app. A different browser (most likely chromium due to compatibility reasons) would most likely fix it.
What browser do you use? If it needs a chromium browser, Brave would be sufficient, most likely. You might have to select it as a default browser app on your phone too.
Ew, brave
That's the okay-est chromium-based browser I know. Any other you'd recommend instead?
Cromite if you want something open source. Cromite's degoogle chromium if ad blockers in cromite get detected. Vivaldi seems okay but is closed source.
No chrome. Firefox.
OPs already using something Firefox based, and it's not working. Sure something chromium isn't great, but it's not like it matters for a single web app.
I just switched to Vivaldi recently and it seems to have a lot less of all the unwanted crap shipped with it
Cool, I'll keep that in mind next time I'm in need of a Chromium browser, thx :-)
I use Midori.
Midori is indeed Firefox based. As @lordbritishbusiness@lemmy.world mentioned, it might be worth quickly trying to switch to desktop mode (in the browser menu).
If that doesn't work, try switching to Brave.
If that doesn't work either, ~~consider finding a new service, honestly, as this kind of user unfriendliness shouldn't be acceptable.~~ try open an issue here.
Thanks 😊😊
Might want to specify that it didn't work with Midori, but it worked with Brave.
Also that the "not powerful enough" error be updated to the actual issue. I seriously don't believe power is part of the reason here, but I'm open to being proved wrong.
It's opening on Brave, but the photos are not uploading.
Blocking html5 canvas improves privacy. The browser might be doing it due to that, in which case it can probably be allowed per site. Couldn't tell you how to do it in brave cause I don't like/use Brave, neither the software nor the Corp. Sorry. Could probably find something online when looking for 'Brave Android allow html5 canvas' or smth.
On Midori, it keeps on rolling. But on brave, it opened asap.
Any problem with Midori ??🤔🤔🤔
The cynical possibility: perhaps due to being Firefox/Gecko-based, which usually entails being privacy-oriented
The statistical possibility: market share for Chromium browsers is so much bigger than Gecko's that developers didn't bother to implement compatibility after an update - or are experimenting to see if it's worthy it
The hopeful possibility: it was a glitch, the site or the browser having updated something that changed the user-agent or the expected one, and the site didn't know what to do with the current one.
Whatever might be the reason, the developers ought to have taken care of the browser aspect.
I had the same problem with reddit. Apparently none of my browsers could run their powerful site so I had to download their app.
Just kidding. FUCK SPEZ
Works fine in fennec, which is an android firefox fork
I would think the chameleon extension would help bypass this if your using a Firefox based browser. Mines always set to fake being edge so websites think I'm not using Firefox.
It opened on brave just now.
