Ok.
So it deleted the app.
Opened the community in Chrome and saved a shortcut to my desktop which seemed like it downloaded an app.
Now it takes me a different route to select a photo but allows me to upload!

Seems to be a Samsung internet issue.
Nothing i do on that would allow me to upload a photo.
Making the desktop icon from Chrome and the app it seemed to download works but with a different format to select photos.

Who ever knows what is going wrong in our world!
But we are quite close here in our little family!

Typically it’s an Android permissions thing, go to settings, apps, permissions and accept all it is asking for.

Android on pixel looks a lot cleaner and better than on Samsung… resetting / viewing permission is much more easier…

yes, Samsung OneUI interface is more famous than Default on Android… Using Android more than iOS now, loving it.
Easier to replace systemwide Equalizer 
…
Firewall option to block unwanted connections
Just need to be careful from installing apps from trusted publishers / developers

Next step will be using LINUX!

Android is a already forked version of Linux

The kernel and memory management of Android is tuned for low power, it kills processes which forces them to be writing state to NVRAM, it doesn’t have a client/server display architecture so the apps have to be written for a given form factor.
Linux never kills processes, it uses a large swap partition to push idle processes to NVRAM, it uses a client/server display architecture which allows all apps to work on all displays.
Linux is technically superior to Android. Google who own Android use Linux as the basis to run Android ontop in the form of Chromebook.
Android is only based on the Linux kernel but above that it is very different. Android does contain therefore a flaw, which it doesn’t scale to larger devices. That same flaw seems to be a lesson from history Apple isn’t learning in trying to make iPad a productivity device. iOS will have the same scaling issues as Android. MacOS is nearer to a full Linux so it multitasking is better and Apple will bump into the same issues trying to make a large iOS laptop equivalent that Android suffers from and only really Samsung is trying to scale via DeX as Google has largely abandoned Android on large devices to use virtualization on Linux Chrome OS.

I never went so deep inside regarding ANDROID.
Thank you for explanation.
I am always happy I can use my really antique devices with my beloved LINUX MINT.!

I pushed Android to its limits, I have a 11" Android tablet with keyboard, the size and battery life is great as it’s a big phone, but the multitasking sucks, I can’t do anything like as much as a Linux laptop with a SSD and large ram and swap partition. Take for example attend the Amazon live events, if I cease looking at Chrome, it stops, I can split screen to overcome that but some apps don’t work split screen e.g. screen capture and image cropping terminates split screen so terminates Chrome and I lose the live stream.
Android Apps depending on ads stop streaming when not single screen as they don’t want you to look away during the Ad for the thing you don’t need. Linux you can keep it playing in background and go back to the good content when the ads stop.
Linux and it’s derivatives like Chrome OS does not suffer this awful multitasking and you can truly do dozen things concurrently if you have the RAM and fast drive, albeit a physically heavier platform.

I do like Chrome OS, good for school… have a Asus device Chromebit, trying to install full Linux version (Linux mint) on it, I think I bricked it last week… Need to revisit it 
Chromebit with light weight Linux version is a much better device than Raspberry Pi 2/3

Most of the performance difference on low end devices is the window manager. xfce Vs Gnome etc. You can initially install multiple desktop environments, swap between them then uninstall the ones which you don’t like. Pretty much a Windows 95 type interface is the best balance of features Vs performance.
