To upload a photo in Where Winds Meet so you can share it in chat, the most likely path is:

  1. Open the menu and go to Photo Mode or Camera.
  2. Take or finish your screenshot.
  3. Look for Upload to gallery , Publish , or a share option.
  4. Once it’s in the game’s gallery/research system, use Share to chat or a similar button to post it.

A few players report that the game’s chat sharing is tied to the in-game gallery/research upload , not to uploading a random image from your device. Some guides also note that images over about 300 KB may fail to upload, so resizing can help if the upload does not work.

What to try

  • Use an in-game photo, not an external file.
  • Open the main menu and find the camera/photo option.
  • After capturing the image, choose publish/upload first, then share it to chat.
  • If sharing only opens a friend list, that may mean the image was not actually published to the game’s gallery yet.

If it still fails

  • Try a smaller image file if the game accepts uploads from your device flow.
  • Check whether the chat/share feature is temporarily limited by the game’s servers, since some players reported feature availability issues.

TL;DR: take the photo in-game, upload it to the gallery/research area first, then use the game’s share-to-chat option from there.
