How to save Contact Pictures

How do you save a picture in a contact? I’m running an iPhone 13, 16.1.1 iOS. When I click on the picture in the contact it doesn’t give me the option to save or copy. Only a menu of ways to contact that person (text, email, phone etc.) If I choose to edit the picture it gives me options for cropping the photo or changing the photo but no option to save. I’d really like to keep this photo since it’s an old picture of a family member. Thanks for the help!

Hello Iphone1375,


The Contacts app offers the ability to create contacts with a photo and includes that person's contact information. The purpose of the app is to keep track of and organize your contacts and their related details in one place. The Contacts app is not a photos app. For this, you'd want to use the Photos app on your iPhone.


We'd suggest searching for this photo in your Photos Library: Search for photos on iPhone


Alternatively, you could take a screenshot of this photo and crop it: Take a screenshot on your iPhone


Hoping this helps out, take care.
