Are you trying to manually publish a post through the ZoomSphere mobile app but can't find the files in your camera roll? You're not alone—and we’re here to help you fix it.
Manual publishing is designed to be quick and seamless, but sometimes, small device settings or missed steps can cause hiccups. Let’s walk through what should happen, what might be going wrong, and how to resolve it.
How Manual Publishing Should Work
When you're using manual publishing in ZoomSphere, this is the typical flow:
Post is scheduled via the desktop version of ZoomSphere.
You receive a push notification on your phone when it’s time to publish.
Tapping the notification opens the post in the ZoomSphere mobile app.
In the app, you scroll down and tap "Publish to" for the intended platform (Instagram, Facebook, etc.).
The app automatically downloads the image or video to your camera roll and copies the caption to your clipboard.
You’re then redirected to the selected platform to complete the post.
🛠️ What to Do if Files Aren’t Downloading
If you followed the steps above but the file isn’t appearing in your camera roll, try the following fixes:
1. Check App Permissions
Make sure the ZoomSphere app has permission to save files on your device:
iPhone: Go to Settings > ZoomSphere > Photos and set it to Read and Write.
Android: Go to Settings > Apps > ZoomSphere > Permissions and enable access to Storage or Media & Files.
2. Force Close and Reopen the App
Sometimes the app may not process the download properly. Close the app completely and reopen it, then try the publish step again.
3. Check Your Internet Connection
A weak or unstable connection can prevent the app from downloading files. Try switching between Wi-Fi and mobile data.
4. Check Phone Storage
Make sure your phone isn’t full. If there's no space available, the download won’t go through.
