Google Photos is working to streamline copying and pasting images into other apps
TL;DR
  • Right now, you copy an image from Google Photos through the share sheet.
  • Photos is working on adding a “Copy photo” button directly under pics you’re viewing.
  • You may also be able to copy with a long press.

When you’re quickly trying to work with content from one app in another, one of your best options for easily moving stuff around is your device’s clipboard. Copying and pasting avoids creating a lot duplicate files eating up your limited storage, and we love seeing ways to make it more efficient. That seems to be something Google’s thinking about right now, as we find evidence for a new copy workflow in Photos.
