The inability to save photos from Facebook on Android is certainly disappointing as most users prefer to save that crazy meme or a memorable picture.įortunately, we’ve figured out an easy workaround that allows users to save or download photos from Facebook on mobile without logging in to a third-party application. Those wondering to save a photo on a smartphone by visiting the desktop version of Facebook through Google Chrome won’t be able to do it either. Capturing a screenshot would pop up a message saying “Taking screenshots isn’t allowed by the app or your organisation” or “Can’t take screenshot due to security policy”. Smart folks would be surprised to know that Facebook doesn’t even allow taking a screenshot of such photos. What’s surprising is the fact that the option doesn’t appear even for photos that are made public and are posted by someone who is added as a friend. It’s worth noting that the Save Photo feature is missing from most photos but not all of them. The option appears in the Facebook app with an older interface though. While accessing the latest test version of Facebook, we found the option to save photos to be missing, thus preventing us from downloading a certain picture to our Android device. While the revamped control menu looks interesting, the update apparently removes the much useful “Save Photo” option from its Android app. The update is a server-side test that introduces a redesigned Settings tab with colourful icons and expandable menus. We recently reported that Facebook is rolling out a new update to the latest stable version 160.0.0.30.94 of its Android app.
