How do I post a ss on here?

I know to press the 3 dots then I access album. Safari says private&only will access pictures you select. But when I click on the pic it shows like it didn’t go through. On my old phone was the same thing&ss didn’t go through after posting&I felt dumb,basically an empty question floating around from my previous phone/apple ID. Now I just X’ed out that post where I was trying to post a ss to ask this instead. When I went to privacy&security>albums I see the pics,I saw safari but it look’s like no pic was here when I selected it.When you post ss’s on here aren’t you suppose to see something? Like the pic smaller so you know it’s included in your post? Could I have some kinda setting not allowing me?

Assuming you mean “screenshot” by “ss”, then, when correctly inserted, you should see the entire image in the post area.

If there is an issue uploading the image a red banner with an explanation should appear.

There is no specific setting for it, and Safari itself should not restrict any images and show your entire library directly for you to choose an image.

You may need to select a smaller size for the image, and you do that by tapping on the “actual size” label at the bottom of the image insertion screen after having selected an image.

A screenshot?

Yes, you poke the three dots, then the "picture" icon and then choose one of the three options:

Then what happens?

Could it be because I have lockdown mode on? That’s the only thing I can think of. I turned on lockdown mode because I have so much issues with my old iPhone that I still have&had issues when creating my new Apple ID. I didn’t get a verification code&just went through,then the next day the # deactivated itself so I had to add “new” the same # again. After that I factory reset but kept eSIM&put it on lockdown mode. I haven’t put any apps or anything on my phone yet&was trying to post a ss of what the backup is. iCloud says 27.7kb(I thought it was suppose to be 0)&backup says “last backup-never,back up size zero kb(I turned everything off including the Chinese keyboard),next backup size 163.2mb.” Before I dl an app from the app store&start actually using the phone I just wanted to make sure that was normal because I had so much issues with my last 2 phones that I’m trying to start fresh. I also had local network glitching showing 45 or 50 but nothing when I clicked on it&if it happens that goes away with a reset. So basically wanted to make sure I’m good to go while I still have nothing on my phone.

It shows what your ss says basically. I’m wondering if it’s because my phone is in lockdown mode?

It's certainly possible. I suggest temporarily disabling off Lockdown Mode, and test.
