Post a photo to the daily feed

Photos are the easiest way to make parents feel present with their child during the day. Keep it to one or two a day per child — more is noise, less is a complaint waiting to happen.

Post for one child

1. Open the NestliCare app on your staff account.
2. Tap Dashboard → Photo in the Quick Actions grid.
3. An action sheet slides up — pick Take Photo or Choose from Library.

1. 1Photos — up to 5 per post. Tap Add for more. Uploads run in the background with a spinner
2. 2Notes — the caption for the photo ('Block tower time!'). Parents read this as much as they look. The activity type, room pills and child avatars sit above this, at the top of the sheet
3. 3Share with Parents — on by default
4. 4Save Activity posts it to the feed

5. Tap each child who's in the photo.
6. Add a caption in Notes.
7. Tap Save Activity or Log for N Children.

Post for multiple children at once

The same screen handles multi-child — just tap each child's avatar on the Children grid. Use Select All if the whole room is in the photo.

Each tagged child gets the photo in their feed. Only parents of tagged children see the photo — parents of untagged children never see it, even if their child is visible in the background.

Good photo captions

• Short: 1-2 sentences, not an essay.
• Specific: "She mastered climbing the big slide today!" > "Good day at the park."
• Warm: use the child's name. Parents love seeing their kid's name in writing.

Troubleshooting

Upload stuck on "sending." Usually a wifi glitch. The photo is saved locally and will retry for up to 24 hours. Force-retry by opening the post and tapping ⋯ → Retry upload.

"This photo is too large." 10 MB limit. Most phones shoot under that by default; if you're using pro camera apps set to RAW, switch to JPG.

Wrong child tagged. Open the post, tap ⋯ → Edit tags. Add/remove children. The feed updates for everyone affected.

Photo looks rotated wrong. iOS HEIC sometimes sends with wrong orientation. Edit the post, delete the photo, re-upload it — the app will re-orient on import.

Parent says they didn't see the photo. Check Share with parents on the entry. If it's on and they still don't see it, the family's push notifications might be off — not your problem, they can open the app directly.
