Mobile App Custom Widget Upload Button Functionality

Question:
1.) Does anyone know if the Wix dev team is working on implementing an upload button functionality on the Mobile App, specifically for use in Custom Widgets? I currently only see standard buttons available, but there’s no upload option. Thank you in advance if anyone has more information about this!

Product:
Wix Studio Editor / Wix Mobile App (specifically for creating or editing custom widgets)

What are you trying to achieve:
I’m trying to allow users to upload files (such as images or documents) through a custom widget directly on the mobile version of my site. Ideally, I want to add a file upload button that works smoothly within the Wix mobile interface and supports connection to the CMS or backend processing.

What have you already tried:

  • Reviewed available widgets and input elements in the Wix Mobile App Editor
  • Searched the Wix Help Center for information on file upload features
  • Looked into Velo documentation for programmatic workarounds
  • Tried testing standard buttons to see if upload functionality could be triggered via code (no success)

Additional information:

  • I understand that the upload button is available in the desktop editor, but my site is heavily accessed on mobile and I want to ensure a seamless mobile-first experience
  • If anyone has found a workaround (e.g., using iFrames, third-party apps, or custom Velo scripts that trigger a file picker on mobile), I’d really appreciate any suggestions

Have you taken a look at the showFileUploadPicker() method? - https://dev.wix.com/docs/velo/apis/wix-mobile/app-framework/show-file-upload-picker

I imagine if you use the button, that when onClick happens, it uses the above method to allow a user to upload files from their device :slight_smile:
