How do I allow the Yelp app to access the photos and videos on my phone?

        On mobile devices, you'll be prompted to allow the Yelp app to access your photos and videos when you first use the app. If you chose Don't Allow or if your privacy settings were changed later on, you won't be able to upload photos or videos to Yelp from your iPhone or iPad.
        Please note that business owners can’t upload videos to their business unless they have signed up for an advertising package and enabled the video feature.

        To manually allow the Yelp app to access your photos and videos

        On iPhone/iPad:
        1. Tap the Settings application

        2. Tap Privacy & Security

        3. Tap Photos

        4. Tap Yelp and then select Full Access

        On Android:
        1. Open Settings and tap Apps

        2. Find Yelp and tap Permissions

        3. For Photos and videos permissions, select Allow
