Troubleshooting technical issues is much easier when both the user and support agent practice clear communication. For this reason, we have provided the template below for you to fill out with information about your issue. Please provide as much detail as possible so we can most efficiently resolve your problem.
Description of the issue:
Images that contain a link cannot be saved; the press-and-hold menu does not have the option.
I last posted about this in October 2021, with other posts from other people dating back to at least 2019 (including on Brave’s Github bug tracker), and it is still a problem with no solution besides screenshotting the image like a caveman.
Here is a screencap of what the context menu looks like when trying with a hyperlinked image on Brave forums:
How can this issue be reproduced?
- Find an image that has a link (e.g. images on the Brave forum, google images, pinterest, literally wherever)
- Press-and-hold to open the context menu
Expected result:
“Add to Photos” or “Share” options should be in the context menu the same way they are for non-linked images. Instead, those options are gone. The image instead has the same context menu as a text-based hyperlink.
Brave Version( check About Brave):
Version 1.42 (22.8.15.22)
Mobile Device details
iPad Pro w/ iPadOS 15.5
Additional Information:
The workaround response on my last post in 2021 was “go directly to the image”. However, images with a link do not have the option to view them directly as the way to do that (copying the URL via “Share”) is also missing from the context menu.
