is there a way to directly share an image rather than a link?
is there a way to directly share an image rather than a link?
In Apollo I could tap and hold a posted image and there’d be an option to share the image directly with my contacts. Here I can only share the Lemmy link.
I guess what Apollo was doing was temporarily downloading the image/video and then deleted it after being shared.
Right now I can’t copy an image through wefwef either, I have to open the link through safari to have that functionality.
With wefwef on iOS , if I tap an image to full screen it, then hold, I get options to share, copy, or save. Share gives me a link, copy gives me the image, and save saves the image.
When I paste the image, it seems like 50/50 on if it will just nicely paste the image or paste a file instead.
Dang I’m using iOS and I don’t get those options. Maybe I need to update iOS?
I am on 16.5.1 if that helps
Dumb question but are you sure you’re trying this with the full screened image that you’ve already tapped once? You get different options in feed/post and after you’ve tapped it once to open it.
I ask because I confused myself this way until I got in the habit:)
I mean I can do it. I tap and hold, and I see a "Share Image" option. Are you sure you aren't trying to share a thumbnail image from a link? Go to !pics@lemmy.ml and try it.
Edit: Wait, it also works on link thumbnails. Not sure why it doesn't for you.
I did not know of this, I was taking screenshots like a luddite. Cheers!
No unfortunately it doesn't do anything other than a subtle zoom when I tap and hold, no menu pops up or anything :(
I updated my iphone se (1st generation) to iOS 15.7.7. I'm still unable to easily share the images themselves like I used to in apollo. My current workaround is to use the browser directly, where I can at least copy the image.
I really miss apollo :(
