Saving or copying images from web

Hi Everyone,

I have a question and have been trying to search for the answer and even asked other Android users, but it doesn't seem to be working on my device. I'm sure it's a pretty simply answer, but I can't seem to figure it out.

My question is, how do you save or copy an image when you are searching the browser on your phone? For example, I was looking for a picture of something I wanted to get my wife and wanted to either copy it or save it and then attach it to a text message, but I couldn't figure out how to do that. I thought you just needed to slightly press the screen and some options would pop up where you could either save, copy, share, etc. When I asked some other android users, they said the same thing to do. I tried several times and nothing would happen. I also tried to double tap it and then it just zoomed in on the image.

What am I not doing or doing incorrectly?

Thanks for the help.

Many times a long-press on the images will cause a popup to appear with a choice to 'Save' or 'Save as'.you

For those times a long-press doesn't work, you may be able to open the image in a new browser window or maybe zoom in on it, then tak a screenshot to save.

Either way, don't forged about copyrights!

The latest version of Chrome actually helps this out.... do a image search, click on a picture and there will be a new save button, from there, it'll 'save' the images... then you can go and do what you wish from there:

Thank you for the help. I looked in the Play Store and got the latest update for Chrome. Are you able to save images if you use the Google search bar that on the home screen (well mine at least) or going through the Google app on the phone? When I tired to do a search through those two ways and tried to save the image, I wasn't given the option to do so. But when I opened the Chrome app and search for an image like that, I was given the option to save.

Is that odd or just me not doing it correctly?

Thank you.

In most phones when you use the Google search widget you can't save pictures after a long press. You need to open the Web page first and then long press on the picture to save it on your phone. It changed a couple of updates ago. Don't ask me why

oh so I'm not going crazy! That just seems odd to me and not very productive. I guess it is just something I will have to get used to.

I really appreciate everyone's help on this.
