IOS - Copying images in Safari copies image URL instead of image proper

When I google an image in Safari on IOS and long press to copy, then go to a messaging app such as iMessage and paste, I paste the image URL instead of the entire image. Please advise on how to copy the entire image instead of the URL thanks.

Issues with "Copy Image" in Safari You would think that after so many user complaints, Apple would address the problems with Copy Image function in Safari. Every other browser with similar feature actually copies the image (without the associated address) so the user can paste appropriately. Safari copies the image + the address, and in most cases parses out the address when pasting the image. [Edited by Moderator]

Copy & Paste image instead of image url on Safari Whenever I copy an image on Facebook web on Safari (by right click/double tap on track pad and select Copy Image) it always paste the image url (on the same Safari tab), not the image per se. And when I paste that image on others webpage (ex: Google Doc) and app (Notes), it will paste the whole image again. Is this subject for the Facebook webpage only and how to fix this?
