When you tap on it there should be a "download" icon. then open your browser and upload it to Imgur or some other cloud picture surface. Put the image link in your post. When the site asks for the file, look under Download.

This is with Android, an Apple person will have to explain downloading on an iphone if you have one of those.

Check YouTube for instructional videos.

Here is the SHORTEST answer. I just gave it yesterday. Works on everything.

----------

First, save the image to your photos.

Go to https://postimages.org

Select a size for the result. Usually "do not resize" or 640 by 480.

• On a mobile device, click on "upload"
Then pick one or more from your photos.

• On a desktop, drag the image(s) to the web page.

Wait a bit for the upload.

Select "direct link". IMPORTANT
Copy the link.(s)

Paste into your DU reply or OP.
