So as a developer, if you’ve ever been surprised to see an issue going for so long not noticed, it might be your customer support filtering it for you….Īrgh! One of the last iOS updates broke copy paste of images!īefore of that I could Just hold on image and copy. I know I’m not the nicest person when support guys copy-paste things that feels like they’ve never read my message thoroughly. This fairly simple task that worked just fine – got broken.Īs we were driving (and I wasn’t the driver), I’ve decided to send a quick report of the issue. as I normally do, I went to their Photo tab on the iOS device, long-press my non-3d-touch phone, clicked on the “Copy” option and went to paste it on Viber service. Last week, during a family trip I wanted to send a photo stored on Dropbox. Just like Firefox (at least for photos), I chose Dropbox as I prefer de-centralizing data available by me (instead for example keeping everything with Google).Īs I have multiple devices, a common case is having picture on one device and sending it from another. While Dropbox is far behind in the feature set (no Apple’s Live Photos support on iOS, lack of ability to auto or even manually remove media on device, etc…) it’s doing an ok job. I mostly use it as self-backed-up synchronized cross device storage.Īnother usage is for backing-up all my photos.
