Wix Mobile Apps: Adding and Setting Up Media in Your Mobile Apps

In this article
  • Adding and setting up an image on your app
  • Adding a video to your app
  • FAQs
You can add media to your mobile apps (e.g., your own mobile app, Fit by Wix, Spaces by Wix) to make it more enjoyable and exciting for your members. Videos and images provide visual engagement in a way that textual content can't always do. For example, a guitar school can use videos to show how to play certain musical notes.
It can also improve your app's visibility in search results and attract more users. Additionally, they make apps more user-friendly and appealing, which can also boost retention. 

Adding and setting up an image on your app

Use images to elevate your brand on your app and showcase exactly what your visitors can expect. You can use your own images or select from various photos from places like Wix. 

Once you add an image, decide how you want to display it on your site and what happens when you click the photo.
