iPhone gifing from safari/google

[lioness13]

I can't gif anymore! Something has changed. Anyone else notice? When I search for an image in Google I can't figure out how to get directly to the web address of that image. It only gives me an option to save or copy the image. Anyone know how to get around this?

I just tried it and it worked. My steps are
Google search and go to images
Click on gif I want
On bottom right click on dots to select View image
That takes me to page that has gif link to post
I use tapa app

Crap. I see what you mean.

Mine used to look like what cynthia2007 posted but it doesnt anymore!!

Testing.... (Eta took out gif)

Image stopped moving but see below anyway...

Ok, so what i did was....
Searched "happy gif" in google.
Clicked on images.
Clicked on the image i wanted.
New looking weird format popped up.
Hold your finger down on the image.
2 options... Copy image OR save image.
I picked "copy image".
When i pasted here it was the http:.............gif url.

Hope that made sense.

I still had to type out the whole img src stuff....

I must be doing it wrong...when I go to paste in the text box, I press my finger down to paste but nothing happens...(no option to paste.)

Are you using your phone or ipad? I believe vitafelix was having issues copying and pasting when on her ipad a while back. Not sure if she still is.

When i paste a link into the text box on my phone...
After i copy the link i come here, open the text box and just tap the area to type. I dont hold my finger down to get to the paste option.
Maybe try that?

Search for a gif...

When you find the one you want:
Hold down your finger on the pic.
Then select "copy" and it will copy the link.

Come here.... Then in the text box type out the src stuff and paste the link in there. (Should be able to just tap the screen and then paste)
You copied the link when you selected "copy" earlier.

It may not work everytime bc not all links will be good ".gif" links.

Hope im making sense!
