[FIXED] How do I allow iOS users to upload a document via an html input field on my website?

Issue

I have a contact form 7 plugin on my wordpress site, I want to allow users to upload a CV. On iOS devices though users are only given options to take a photo or upload a photo. On android and any other device I'm able to choose file.

Is there any way to get around this iOS functionality?

Solution

This is not possible within Safari. Safari, and most iOS apps, operate within a sandbox, meaning they can't access other data and cannot read files outside their scope. I think iOS only supports photo uploads.
