Answer

Send a photo to BoardSnap from the share sheet.

Short answer

Yes. You can send a whiteboard photo to BoardSnap from any iOS app using the share sheet without opening BoardSnap first. Find the photo in Photos, Messages, Files, or wherever it lives, tap Share, and select BoardSnap. The app opens with the photo already imported and ready to analyze.

## Why this matters

Sometimes you take a whiteboard photo in the iPhone Camera app first — not through BoardSnap's built-in camera. Maybe you snapped it quickly before the board got erased and didn't have time to open BoardSnap. Maybe a colleague AirDropped it to you. Maybe it landed in your camera roll from a conversation.

The share sheet means you don't have to re-open BoardSnap, navigate to a project, and manually import. You can stay in the Photos app (or wherever the photo is) and push it to BoardSnap from there.

## Step-by-step

  1. Find the whiteboard photo in Photos, Files, Messages, or any app
  2. Tap the Share button (the box with an arrow)
  3. Scroll through the share sheet to find BoardSnap
  4. Tap BoardSnap
  5. If you have multiple projects, select the project to add it to
  6. BoardSnap imports the photo and begins analysis

If BoardSnap isn't showing in your share sheet, scroll to the end and tap More. Find BoardSnap in the list and enable it.

## Works from these apps

  • Photos (camera roll)
  • Files
  • Messages (tap and hold a photo, then Share)
  • Mail (tap the image attachment, then Share)
  • Slack (long-press a photo, then Share)
  • AirDrop receiver (goes to Photos, then share from there)

## Difference from importing

Sharing from the share sheet and importing from the camera roll produce the same result — a photo analyzed in your project. The share sheet route is faster when you're already in another app with the photo on screen.

Frequently asked

Can I share multiple photos to BoardSnap at once?

The current share extension handles one photo at a time. For multiple boards, share them to BoardSnap individually.

Does sharing a photo to BoardSnap delete it from Photos?

No. Sharing sends a copy to BoardSnap. The original photo stays in your camera roll.
