Bug report: Cannot insert photos on Xiaomi 18 Pro / HyperOS 4.0
-
Device: Xiaomi 18 Pro, HyperOS 4.0.11.0I have been using Day One for years without any issues on Xiaomi 13, 14 and 17. After switching to Xiaomi 18 Pro, when trying to add photos in Day One, I can select images from the system gallery, but there is no confirm/insert button at the bottom of the screen. I cannot import photos into my journal.Please optimize compatibility for the new HyperOS version and fix this gallery selection bug.

It sounds like this is something in the newer system photo picker rather than Day One itself.
What version of the Day One app do you have on your phone? See https://dayoneapp.com/guides/settings/locating-the-version-number-of-day-one/

Thanks for the detailed report, including the exact device and HyperOS version. This is a known issue on Xiaomi 18 Pro running HyperOS 4.0.11.0: after selecting a photo from the system gallery, the confirm or insert button doesn’t appear at the bottom of the screen, so the photo can’t be added to the entry. Our team is already aware of this and investigating a fix.
There isn’t a confirmed fix yet, but two things worth trying in the meantime: taking the photo directly within Day One using the in app camera button instead of importing from the gallery, or adding it through the Files app picker instead of Photos, if that picker still shows a confirm button on your phone.
