v1.0.45 of the mobile app now saves your photos to the gallery on your device. Previously, the Flow Mobile app saved images to a hidden and protected folder within the app.

Saving images to the photo gallery offers some significant advantages:

• View images outside of the app. You can now view pictures taken with the Flow app directly from your photo gallery at any time.
• Phone backup services. Since photos now save to the photo gallery, you can take advantage of your phones backup services such as iCloud or Android's automatic backup.
• Spare photos for accidental deletions. If you accidentally delete an inspection record, you can now find the images in your gallery to restore any photos you need.
• Sanity check. On multi-day jobs, the gallery provides a helpful history of inspection photographs in chronological order. You can use this to figure out the last item you surveyed.
• Failsafe for app issues. It's reassuring to know your photos are saved to an easily accessibly gallery if there's ever an issue with the Flow Mobile app.
