is there a way to directly share an image rather than a link? (lemmy.world)

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.

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 get nothing from tap-hold on any image, no options 🤔

Android or iOS?

I'm on Android. Maybe this is default browser behavior on Android that doesn't exist on iOS.

seems plausible 👍🏼

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 :(

Are you using an Android or an iOS?

iOS

I have the same problem today. I guess it’s the new gallery view.

It’s better, but this use case seems to have vanished. Let’s hope it returns soon!
