I have created a Power Apps application where users can upload multiple attachments using the Add Attachment control. The functionality works perfectly on Android devices—I’m able to select and upload multiple files without any issues.

However, when I try the same functionality on an iPad, it doesn't work as expected. The control either:

Only allows selecting one file at a time, or

Fails to upload the selected files.

I have already enabled the AllowMultipleFiles property and set a higher MaxAttachments limit in the control settings. Despite that, the issue persists only on iPads, while it continues to work fine on Android devices.

My questions: Is there a known limitation with the Add Attachment control on iPad (especially in Safari)?

Is there a workaround to enable multi-file upload on iPads?

Would using a different control like Add Picture or the Power Apps Mobile app resolve this?

Any guidance or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Yes you are absolutely correct. This is known limitation of PowerApps Attachment control. You can read more about this here - refer to point number 3 under limitaions.

Further more since you mentioned you are using IPad, the issue comes from how iOS works. On iPads and iPhones, Safari and the Power Apps mobile app use Apple’s built-in file picker, and that picker simply doesn’t let you select multiple files at once in this context. So, even though Android supports the AllowMultipleFiles setting, iOS forces you to pick files one at a time.
