Make the app appear in the WhatsApp photo picker

[RobertHarnett]

Right now rays doesn't appear in the list of apps to choose a photo from the WhatsApp photo picker.

When in WhatsApp and select 'gallery, from the attachments option you are unable to select rays as an available app to choose an image, this method would be best as it would allow you to use the Rays app UI and search to choose the image.

Currently you have to access rays from the files menu as if you're adding a document which limits your ability to search using tags and such.

Can other apps reproduce it, I don't use whatsapp

Apologies I was wrong with my initial post. Upon looking closer I realised WhatsApp doesn't use the native Android media selector, so this is more of a niche issue specific as far as I can tell to just WhatsApp, I've updated the issue title and text to reflect this better.

I can understand if this is not an issue important enough to fix, however given the scale and wide utility of WhatsApp it would be greatly appreciated.

I tried to find what might be causing it, since other third party apps appear and behave as expected and it seems to be down to using the correct Intent-filters in the Manifest.

Apologies, the links below are very dated and seems to be stating the obvious, I'm not developer, just thought they might help:
