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.

With we feed 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 l’aste 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
