Any way to access Google Photos app from the LF Mobile app when browsing for photos to upload to a form?

I have Google Photos set up on my phone and it's set up to sync the photos from my phone to photos.google.com.  Some apps can browse my Google Photos albums as if those photos were on my phone, other apps like LF cannot.  Since we encourage our users to sync their photos to Google Photos (for many reasons; space on phone, easier to migrate phones when getting a new one, etc.), I would like to know if it's possible for the LF app to access photos through Google Photos?

The use case sounds pretty valid. I've added this feature request to our backlog for further research and validation. Although uploading from Google Photos is supported in LF app on Android, we didn't implement the functionality. It's offered by Android (Storage Access Framework).

Hi Mike, you should be able to upload photos through Google Photos to LF Forms on an android phone. However, it's not supported on iPhone.

I should have been more specific.  This issue occurs on iPhones and many of our users have them.  Any chance this functionality will be updated so it works on iPhones as well?
