People will be precious about selfies, and re-taking them. While the current behaviour of auto-upload has minimal friction, it'll mean users likely need to clean up "bad"/duplicate shots later on from their library (and every included friend's libraries). Auto-upload might also cause a bit of anxiety around how we handle privacy.
My gut feel is that a large touch surface to "confirm/upload" alongside a preview is a good compromise. Ben has also raised the option of a countdown - deferring upload by a few seconds, where a user can choose to cancel at any time.

Note that auto-upload will become less important overall if we manage to make uploads faster (https://github.com/bnolan/echt-client/issues/32).
