Take Photos & Personal Videos
Use the camera on your Fire phone to take photos and record video. You can also choose to store your
photos and videos in Amazon Cloud Drive automatically
Photos from your phone do not count against your total Cloud Drive storage. Automatic video uploads
count towards your Cloud Drive storage and are enabled by default. If you don’t want your photos and
videos to upload to your Cloud Drive automatically, open the left panel in the Photos app, and then tap
Settings. From the Settings menu, use the switch to turn off Auto-Save.
If you want to upload photos and videos to Amazon Cloud Drive, but you don't want to use your cellular
data, open the left panel in the Photos app, and then tap Settings. From the Settings menu, use the switch
to turn off Use Cellular Data.
Note: If you exceed your Cloud Drive storage limit, you won’t be able to upload any additional videos
until you purchase additional storage or make space for videos by deleting existing content. You will
still be able to view and play previously uploaded videos locally.
To open the camera, tap the Camera icon from the carousel or app grid on the Home screen.
