More photo settings are found in the app:

- Upload Photos Over Wi-Fi Only: Photos will only upload over Wi-Fi to help you avoid slow uploads and cell data overage charges.
- Upload Size: Determines the photo quality and size of the upload. The app defaults to High. Note: Uploading full-sized photos will use more network data. You'll likely want to use Upload Photos Over Wi-Fi Only with the High setting selected.
Add Photos While Live Logging
Premium and Basic subscribers can automatically upload any photos, real time, that are taken while Live Logging. Photos uploaded during a live log session will be geotagged at the location where you took the photo.
To enable Live Photo Syncing tap More > Settings > Live Logging > toggle on the Live Photo Syncing option.
This setting will use your cellular network connection to upload each picture as you Live Log. Turn this feature off if you want to minimize network data use during your ride. Note: If you enable this option, this will upload photos while Live Logging even if you have Upload Photos Over Wi-Fi Only enabled.
