Unable to interact with pictures

I have used and enjoyed Brave on my Iphone 7 for a while. I just installed the latest version of IOS (13.5.1) and updated the Brave app to 1.18.1 (20.07.06.15). Now, i am unable to save pictures or open them in a new tab. The option does not appear in the context menu when I long press an image.

There’s no reproduction of this issue—it acts as though the feature is simply missing, unless I’m misunderstanding some new way I should be interacting with objects. The only object this is happening to is images.

No screenshot—any picture-related options are not visible in the context menu when I long press. This was not the case before my most recent update.

If there’s a funny meme or something I’d like to be able to save it. This is strange and basic functionality to be unavailable which is also why i am wondering if I’m just missing something.

What actions should I take to try to resolve?

Thanks in advance.

@teg7,
I’m not seeing this issue on my end. On my iPad, I’m able to visit google images (for example), long-press on an image and see context menu options appear. Also tested on Reddit:

OK so I’m looking at your screen shots and I’m seeing exactly what I’m seeing on my screen. There’s no option to open image in new tab or save image.

@teg7,

After opening the image itself in-browser, you can see additional options:

So the couple of examples I was trying to open were images which are also associated with links (if you click the image it’ll take you to a new webpage, e.g. the hosting site like imgur or the image search result on google) and when I click “open in new tab” it opens the link rather than opening the image. I would like to just open the image in a new tab.

Open in new tab opens the link associated with the image. It doesn’t open the image in a new tab. I also can’t copy an image and paste it for example into a text message.

Google is showing this was an issue for this browser specifically on IOS in early 2019 and it was resolved with an update.
