You select the pictures you want to send like sending them via WhatsApp or any other messaging app.

so the user selects pictures, vs the app just sending without selection

but u have to install an app on your phone

Correct.
You use the normal Telegram Messanger App but instead of sending pictures to somebody you send it to a bot (which is a supported feature of Telegram)

The Teleframe acts as a Telegram Client, receives the pictures and saves them to a directory on the mirror.
As Teleframe creates a images.json file my watchdog only watches this file for changes and sends the notification to the module if needed.

I use telegram with my family, so I will give it a try.

If you need the watchdog script let me known. Did not push it to any repository till now cause it is only a small bash script.
