Most of the Android devices come standard with a few fun features, such as a camera. Unfortunately, many people do not take full advantage of the functionality that the Android camera offers. if they do take pictures with the camera, there is a strong possibility that those pictures will remain on the camera, and only be shown to other people in person. However, the Android camera and the gallery of images that it creates can be incorporated into many different Android applications, including Twitter. This means that you can upload pictures that you take with your Android phone to your Twitter account and share those images with your followers. There are a number of other places you can store images, including your Google account. Our guide on how to put a picture on Google will show you how to do this.
