I use imgur for all my website photos and links. It's nice to be able to import the html codes right into my own coding when i'm editing things... Its working fine for me... I think you have a phone setting issue.
But for every day photos i take with my phone, I use google photos. I've got it set up to where it automatically uploads the pictures at slightly less than full sized and i get unlimited free storage from google. You can set it up where it only uploads when you have wifi, or anywhere using your data quota. I have unlimited data on my plan, so i can upload photos from where ever i have phone service...
