ability to add markings to photo's

We would like to make markings on the photo's we take during inspections using field maps. Now we have to exit field maps, take a photo with the device camera, add the markings in the photo app of the device and then add the photo with markings as an attachment in field maps.

It would be so much faster if we could just do this in field maps.

Survey123 can do it really well if that is an option.

We have the same request as well from our field geologist. We use the ArcGIS Field Maps app because it is the most essential part when doing geological mapping in Greenland. Survey123 is not efficient here.

When our field geologist are taking photos with the app, it is desired to have the option to make markings on the photos for highligting geologic features, boundries and structures.

The field geologists at the Utah Geological Survey would also very much appreciate this functionality.

We are monitoring this requirement and have added the comments and kudos to our feature backlog. I am closing this idea as its we have a duplicate with slightly more responses.
