Copy & Paste photos between albums

As you are asking for any way:

  • select photo you wish to duplicate
  • Press "Share" and "Email Photo"
  • Send email to yourself using actual size of picture
  • Once email is back select picture and save to Photo Roll

PS: I tried to just cancel the email first and keeping a copy in Drafts. But it seems you can't select a picture out of a mail in the Drafts folder.


I'm not particularly fond of this answer but it does work... you can purchase the Pastebot application (all their apps are fantastic) and copy the image in the native Photo app. Next open Pastebot and you should see your image pop into the display. Select the image preview which will open the full image. At the bottom, click save image and you'll now have two copies of the image.

Just had the same issue as you and this was the workaround I used (I had already purchased Pastebot).
