iPhone 101: Save Images from Safari and Email to phone
Written on August 27, 2008 by Jenny Kortina and 6 people have commented
I emailed my brother a picture of us when we were little to use as the picture that pops up when I call him, but when he received it he wasn’t sure how to save it to his iPhone (which you need to do to assign to a picture to a contact).
To save a picture to your iPhone library from Safari or an email:
- Click and hold on the picture you want to save to your iPhone
- Click “Save Image”
- Now when you navigate to your photo album your newly saved picture will be there to do with it what you please

have you noticed some loss in quality too when you save the image?

i save photos from safari by holding on picture.
but sometimes the saved photo is fine.
but many times photos appear blur.
why and how to rectify it?

You will have to upgrade the firmware for the itouch to v2.0 minimum.
