Not sure where to post this but for some reason I can't save pics from Internet. I hit the icon to save image and then it keeps saying " save image failed". ?? Any ideas? This is really strange

Which Google app? With Google's Chrome browser for iOS, you can save images in the same manner you do in Safari. ImageUploadedByTapatalk 21361667561.470245.jpg

if you want to save a picture from the web or anywhere, press the top power button and the back button at the same time, the screen will turn white and you will hear the shutter click.

The procedure you described is for taking 'screenshots' which is taking a photo of whatever is displayed on the screen including the title bar and home screen icons. I don't think that's what the OP wants.

I had the same problem and I just figured it out. Go to your settings. Then privacy. Then photos. And make sure the google tab is turned on. Hope this helps. 😄

I have the same problem. Google is On in the Privacy--Photos setting, but I still can't save a photo anymore. I used to be able to do it all the time. Any other suggestions? Thanks.

I can take pics with camera,but no image in camera roll.
I can't save pics from messengers.
Photos are all turn on.

Be sure your date is set. Go to Settings >General >Date and Time> toggle on "Set Automatically. Then do a hard reset.
Hold the top power/sleep button and the home button at the same time until the Apple logo appears, then release.
Let us know if that works.
