Why it matters

Why device images belong on the repair job

Device images are the photos of a customer’s device you take at intake, during the repair and at handover. In BytePhase they sit on the job under Device images, so the scratch that was already there, the water damage you found and the condition it went back in are on one record, not in a staff member’s phone gallery.

“That scratch wasn’t there before”Intake photos on the job show the condition it came in with.
Photos stuck in a technician’s phoneThey are uploaded to the job, and only Admin users can delete them.
Customers asking what you foundAdd photos to a comment and the customer sees them with your update.

Device images questions

Can I upload images from any device?2026-10-30T08:03:42+00:00

Yes. Upload device images from a computer webcam, a phone or tablet camera in the Android or iOS app, or as files, up to 10 at a time and 25 MB each.

Can customers view images of their devices?2026-10-30T08:03:42+00:00

Yes. Customers see the photos on their job in their customer login. When you add photos to a comment, you pick how the customer hears about it: email, SMS or WhatsApp in one tap. Private notes never carry photos to the customer.

Is the Device Image Gallery feature secure?2026-10-30T08:03:42+00:00

Absolutely. BytePhase ensures that all images and data stored in the Device Image Gallery are protected with robust security measures, including encryption and secure access controls, to safeguard your information.

Can my technicians take device photos on their phones?2026-01-01T08:03:00+00:00

Yes. In the Android or iOS app, open the job, tap Edit, scroll to Upload images and tap Take photo to open the phone camera, or choose photos from the gallery. Allow camera access when asked. The photos are saved with the job and show under Device images, so they stay with the shop and not in a technician’s own gallery.

Why keep device photos in BytePhase instead of a phone gallery or WhatsApp?2026-01-01T08:04:00+00:00

Photos in a technician’s own gallery or a chat leave when the phone or the person does, and are hard to find during a dispute. In BytePhase, photo documentation stays on the job: pictures taken at check-in, with a comment during the repair and at handover are saved with that device, and the customer sees them in their customer login. Only an Admin can delete a photo, and handover photos sit next to the delivery OTP record.

Can I add photos when the device is handed back?2026-01-01T08:05:00+00:00

Yes. In the Add delivery window, open More details to add handover photos along with the status, who delivered it and a comment. You can pair this with the customer’s one-time code, which goes by SMS and email, so the job shows who collected the device and how it looked. See OTP for delivery.

How do I access and manage images in the gallery?2026-10-30T08:03:42+00:00

Access the Device Image Gallery directly from the BytePhase software dashboard. You can view, organize, and manage images with intuitive tools that allow you to sort and categorize photos based on your preferences.

Can customers add photos before they visit the shop?2026-01-01T08:07:00+00:00

Yes. A customer who fills in your online self check-in form before visiting can add photos of the device. When you tap Approve & create job on that request, the photos are copied onto the new job, so your technician sees the fault before the device is on the bench.

How many photos can I add to a job?2026-01-01T08:08:00+00:00

Each upload takes up to 10 photos, 25 MB each, and photos are made smaller as they upload. You can upload again at any time by editing the job, or add photos with a comment or a delivery. Only an Admin can delete a photo, and BytePhase asks to confirm first.

How quickly can I start capturing device photos?2026-01-01T08:09:00+00:00

Right away. Your account comes ready to use, so there is nothing to build first: open a job, tap Upload images and take the photo. Basic setup takes about 10 minutes, and the Android and iOS apps can take the photos too.

What is the Device Image Gallery feature in BytePhase?2026-10-30T08:03:42+00:00

The Device Image Gallery is a powerful feature within BytePhase repair shop software that allows you to capture, store, and manage images of devices undergoing repair. This feature helps in maintaining a visual record of the device’s condition before and after service.
