having problems saving images on safari after iOS 7.1 update -

Question

having problems saving images on safari after iOS 7.1 update -

whenever i use safari to search images on Google and i want to save the image i hold down and i have the following options

> Open

> Open in New Page

> Add to Reading List

> Copy

but no

> Save Image

i have to click onto the actual picture which directs me to its original web page where it was posted to be able to hold down onto picture for "save image" option to appear whereas before the update it was simpler to save images on the search result page instead on having to open the pictures up individually. Has anyone else come across this annoying new feature? instead of simplifying things they've slightly made it more of a hassle to save images grrrr

iPhone 5s, iOS 7.1

I have noticed when you click the picture and the pic highlights. It only highlight about 3/4 of the picture from left to right. But the 1/4 to the right of the picture you can hold and it will then pop up with the save image option included.

Hi Captwoodse,

Thanks for your reply, after trying your method i actually found out that if i click on a picture in google images mode in safari and don't wait for it to fully load and hold down my finger on the picture the save image option comes up amongst the others. However if i do wait for it to load completely i only have the options i listed in my original question. I tried your technique you suggested but again it was hit and miss with save image option appearing. So it looks like ill just have to be quick with my thumb and press down on picture before it loads! Lets hope my EE 4G connection is slower then my thumb skills

Thank you none the less

Hello Bubblegumchews,

I am having the exact same problem. I tried your "quick thumb" method which does work, alas, the saved image saves blurry. I was wondering if you obtained any further informaton. I've scoured the internet, and this thread was the only information I have found on the matter!

Please let me know if you've learned any more since your last post.

Thank you kindly.

Unfortunately no, and you have been the only reply. I have just the latest software update, and it seems to be working again for the moment!
