Using the Google App

Do you want to save pictures from Google Images to your iPhone or iPad? You can easily download photos from both the Google app and a web browser like Chrome or Safari in a few simple steps. After searching for an image, you'll just need to long-tap the photo until a menu appears, then choose "Add to Photos" from the options. If you can't save images, you may need to navigate to the image's host site first. This wikiHow will teach you how to save an image from a Google image search to your iPhone or iPad camera roll.
