I am looking for a recommendation for one of those wifi picture frame doohookies for my grandmaw so her grandkids can send pictures to her. Needs to be something thats 100% automatic. She has no tech skills whatsoever.

You're using the words my grandparents used to; doohickies. Brought a tear to my eye.

I used a Skylight Frame for my 2nd set of parents. You just emailed pictures to a unique email address and they'd go into the rotation that the old peeps would see. My brother from a different mother just connected it to wifi at their house, and it was fire and forget from that point.

Aura at Costco.

Super easy connects directly to your Google photos account and you can filter by person so as you take new pics of your kids on your phone they automatically appear on the frame.

She can tap the side of the frame when a picture comes up she really loves and it will display a heart emotion over the pic and will send you a notification of which picture she loved.

Also you can turn the frame portrait or landscape and it will automatically readjust and re center the current photo.

Don't even look at anything else.

What if I dont have one of those?

I was envisioning something along the lines of kids can text pictures to the frame and they pop up in the rotation

You're hitting on one of the reasons I like open devices. I don't do Google anything. The one I pointed out is simply pictures to email addresses. It shows up, with no credential issues, or anything else involved.

It's not just Google photos that it supports. That just happens to be what I have so I set that up to match certain people's faces and send those to the frame whenever I take a new photo on my phone.

I haven't so much as opened the Aura app in years. It just chugs right along getting fresh pics of the kids whenever I take a photo.

And as Lemmy pointed out, pretty much every frame it there has some kind of email, text or app to push photos to it.
