Yessir: you click the '+' button at top of screen, select your preferred upload option -from camera (button takes you there), else from your Imgur library or system file-picker- and then you select either "Public" or "Hidden" and upload. Easy as falling off a log! /w > The only imgur-sponsored app I could find on playstore promised "Imgur: > Find funny GIFs, memes & watch viral videos". That's not my interest. > Not mine neither! But that is indeed how the app is described and marketed, and that's how they make their money. In this attention (i.e. ad-funded) economy, there is apparently a very significant market of people who spend significant time watching "funny GIFs, memes & viral videos," and that's what pays the freight on this image hosting. /w > Maybe the app does more, but it needs to say so in the description.

We're definitely not alone in this -Imgur has been for a good few years already the goto app for many DIY Maker-types that have a story to tell via series of annotated images (for example check out the Reddit boards that are that way inclined)- but this is not the user base that Imgur gets paid to attract, i suppose, so i wouldn't hold my breath waiting for them to change their positioning in App Store or Google Play. /w > Yes, I'm sure you can use the web based imgur to copy addresses and then > copy/paste them into a TW.
