Why the photo is not uploaded to contact: reasons, solution

Photos are not uploaded to VK from the phone

Troubles when downloading photos from your phone are caused by the same reasons that interfere with the normal operation of a popular site on a PC. Therefore, the process of checking and subsequent dealing with difficulties almost completely coincides with the actions already described. But in addition, you should pay attention to several important nuances that are not described above.

Problems with Vk itself

The most unpleasant updates and changes for users are those planned by the portal administration. In such situations, VK does not upload photos, since the introduction of innovations requires time, during which the developers eliminate the errors that have arisen and restore full operation of the system.

Checking your Internet connection

Internet speed has a huge impact on the performance of a website. With low connection quality on Android, not only pictures, but also pages load poorly. At the same time, you can check the stability of the connection using special programs or simply by trying to visit any other portal.

Photo upload limit

Sometimes difficulties are associated not with the social network itself, but with the tariffs of mobile operators. This applies to offers with unlimited traffic to such services. Their peculiarity is that unlimited does not apply to photo uploading. In such cases, nothing can be done, and the only way out is to change the tariff.

The reason is VKontakte itself

Finally, you can just wait - perhaps your photo is not loading due to a temporary “glitch” in VKontakte or your browser, and after a while everything will pass.
