2. Open the app, then sign into the app using the same email address and password that you use for your Firestick.
3. If prompted, tap “Allow” to allow the app to access your photos.
4. On the next screen, leave “Auto-Save” turned “On” if you wish for Amazon Photos to automatically backup (upload) your pictures to Amazon. If you would like to manually select which photos are uploaded, turn “Auto-Save” to “Off“. Tap “Done” once you have decided.
5. Skip any other prompts that appear.
6. Do one of the following sets of steps:
   • If you turned on “Auto-Save” in step 4, the Amazon Photos app will begin uploading photos to the Amazon Photos cloud service. These photos will be available in your Firestick Photos screensaver.
   • If you set “Auto-Save” to “Off“, you can manually select photos by selecting ☰ > “Device Photos & Videos“. From there you can select the folder where your pictures are located. Tap and hold any photo to get started, then select/check any photos you wish to upload. Once you have all the photos you wish to use in your screensaver selected, tap the “Upload” button.
