Within the app, navigate to the Settings menu. Look for an option like Automatic Upload or Photo Uploads. Enable this feature. Be sure to grant the app permission to access your photos.

Select Upload Preferences

Choose whether you want to upload photos over Wi-Fi only or also use cellular data.

Once set up, the app will automatically upload new photos from your device to your Shutterfly account as long as you have the app running and permissions set correctly.
