Description
Expected behavior
I expect the upload to be fast and/or if the upload takes longer for some reason then give an indication that the app is working on uploading the photo to a WordPress post.
Actual behavior
Currently slow upload behavior with no indication that the app is uploading the photo.
Steps to reproduce the behavior
- Open Google Photos
- Select a photo to share
- Select the WordPress app to share the photo to
- Notice how long it takes for the Photo to upload with no indication of anything happening.
Tested on [device], Android [version], WPAndroid [version]

No file, test, or entry point is named.
