Save Web images with Mobile Safari

Earlier, I explained how to add Web images to iPhoto with Safari on the Mac. Here is how to do the same thing when using Mobile Safari on the iPhone.

To save an image, tap and hold the image for a moment and a Save dialog will open. The dialog has two buttons (three, if it’s a linked image) – Save Image, Cancel and Open Link. Simply tap the Save Image button to save the image to the iPhone Photo Library.

The next time you sync your iPhone with iTunes, the image will be saved to your Mac or PC. You can also tap and hold an image attachment in iPhone Mail to open the Save dialog.

You may view the image on your iPhone by tapping the Camera application and opening the iPhone Camera Roll. If you tap the image while in the Camera Roll, you could also choose Use As Wallpaper, Email Photo or Assign to Contact.
