How can I save a photo assigned to a contact?

Easy!

Go to your contacts with the photo you want to save

Click Edit

Click the photo (touch it)

Choose "copy"

Open you email (gmail) on the iPhone

Create a new message

"Paste" the photo

Send yourself the email

When you got the email touch the photo and save it to your photos

Done!!

I don't think it's possible in the current iteration of iOS.

Oops. I misread it. That's right. Not possible. 😝

Does not work for me. Clicking on the photo does not provide a "copy" option; the only options are Take Photo, Choose Photo, Edit Photo, and Delete Photo.

Easy!

Go to your contacts with the photo you want to save

Click Edit

Click the photo (touch it)

Choose "copy"

Open you email (gmail) on the iPhone

"Paste" the photo

When you got the email touch the photo and save it to your photos

It does work - hold your finger over the empty "add photo" box for a second then the "paste" option appears.

If you just touch it quickly you'll only see the options choose image or take photo.

And make sure you're using the latest ios

Contacts > select the name of the contact > Edit > add photo. You can either Take Photo and use your camera to capture a photo if the person is right next to you, or select from Choose Photo from Camera Roll. 🙂

Thank you for clarifying! You are correct. Holding my finger on an existing photo assigned to a contact does pop up a "copy" option, and from there I can past the photo (thumbnail only, unfortunately) into an e-mail.

Excellent !!

Thank you so much helped a lot!
