UpScrolled requires certain permissions to give you the full experience — from changing your profile photo to posting videos or tagging locations. Permissions vary slightly between iOS and Android.
Profile photo or banner changes:
Gallery / Photos permission → Needed to select a photo from your device storage.
Camera permission → Needed to capture a new photo or banner directly in the app. You can decline and still use the gallery selector (small preview window at the bottom corner).
Posting videos:
Gallery / Photos permission → Required to select an existing video from your device.
Camera permission → Required to record a new video inside the app.
Microphone permission → Required to capture sound when recording. Currently requested even if you only want to upload an existing video — this will be refined in future versions.
Tagging locations:
Location permission → Needed to tag your current location in a post. You can manually search and tag a location without granting this permission.
Notifications:
Notifications permission → Required to receive alerts for likes, comments, new followers, messages, and other updates.
Good to know:
You do not have to grant all permissions — features will simply be limited depending on what you allow.
You can update permissions anytime from your device's Settings → Apps → UpScrolled → Permissions.
Denying unnecessary permissions will not block your ability to use the app for other functions.
