Reader for Android. Image upload to PDF Form?

I've noticed that the latest release of Acrobat DC allows pdf forms to be created with image fields that accept jpgs etc. from users using Reader.  This is what the documentation describes.  However when attempting to click an image field using Reader on Android, there is seemingly no action triggered to upload image to the field. Is this because Reader for Android does not yet support this function or am I missing something/doing something incorrectly or incompletely when setting up the image field?  Form seems to work fine when using XI, Pro or DC.  Any descriptive processes or reasoning for this non-functionality is greatly appreciated. I plan to test Reader on Windows 10 this evening and Apple devices on Wed.

Thanks.

Support for these form fields (JavaScript underneath) are not (yet) implemented on the mobile versions of Adobe Acrobat Reader.

Thank you Dov.  Was able to complete text fields and submit  PDF via email on android but no photo upload.  Are you aware of whether this is soon to be implemented for mobile Reader? Thanks.

We are still looking for a way to upload pictures to PDF forms via mobile reader (android version). By chance, did Adobe develop this functionality since 2017?
