Hi @Anonymous ,

Do you want to save the pictures taken via Camera control into your local device?

If you want to save the pictures taken via Camera control into your local device, I afraid that there is no way to achieve your needs in PowerApps currently.

If you would like this feature to be added in PowerApps, please submit an idea to PowerApps Ideas Forum:

Hi @Anonymous ,

If you want to save the taken picture from Camera control into the Photo Library in your Mobile device, I think there is no way to achieve your needs currently.

If you just want to save your taken picture into your local device, then want to load it when you load your app next time, I think the SaveData function and LoadData function could achieve your needs.

Please check and see if the following blog would help in your scenario (Offline App):

I also agree with your thought. You could consider save your taken picture into your OneDrive folder, then you could review them within the OneDrive client app in your Mobile device.
