Created and developed by Apple Inc., iOS is an operating system designed for mobile devices. The software powers several Apple devices such as the iPhone, iPod Touch, and earlier iPad iterations.
That said, Apple recently announced the latest version of the operating system – iOS 16 – at the just concluded WWDC event.
But iOS is no stranger when it comes to bugs. Users are complaining about the Google Search Save Image option not working or not appearing with long-press (1,2,3,4,5).
Many say the problem is preventing them from downloading images. It looks like the issue surfaced after a recent update.
Here are some reports from iOS users for whom the Save Image option is not appearing in Google Search.
Many are frustrated since they are unable to download images on their devices.
Thankfully, a Google Community specialist commented on the issue and said they have escalated the problem to the concerned team for further investigation.
Some are speculating that Apple’s OCR service that recognizes text in images could be interfering with the ability to long-press and save images.
Also, we came across a workaround that might help save images using Google Search. Some users say that if you keep holding the screen, the prompt eventually appears.
Rest assured, we will be keeping an eye out for more information and update this space as and when required so stay tuned to PiunikaWeb.
