Description

### Summary
Add an option to enable automatic photo uploads exclusively when the device is charging.

### Motivation
This feature would be useful for users who want to conserve battery life during the day. Often, automatic photo uploads can consume significant power, which might be inconvenient for users who are not near a charging source. Having this option ensures that users can use the feature without worrying about battery drain.

### Considered Alternatives
- Upload photos only on Wi-Fi: This is already available but doesn't address the battery drain concern.
- Manual uploads only when charging: This requires user intervention and is less convenient.

### Anything else?
This feature could be implemented as a toggle in the app settings, under the "Automatic Photo Upload" section, allowing users to choose between different conditions for uploads (e.g., "Only while charging", "Only on Wi-Fi", or both).
