Send images on WhatsApp from iOS
Download image and send it
Let's start by talking about the sharing images via iPhone, then on the operating system iOS. We are up Safari and we found an image, on a site or on Google, that we want send on WhatsApp. The first thing to do is one prolonged pressure on the photo and select Save immagine. We close the browser and enter the app Photo, we select the photo previously downloaded and click on the button sharing (an icon with a blank sheet of paper and an up arrow). A small panel will open where we will select WhatsApp. If this is the first time we do this, the messaging app icon may not be present, so on the panel we go to press on Other ed we activate the lever of WhatsApp and we choose end. We repeat the previous operation on the sharing panel by selecting the WhatsApp app and in the chat we choose the conversation (or by holding down we can choose more than one) where to send the image and press on NEXT.

Direct image sending from the browser
Unlike iPhone, Android, in addition to allowing you to download an image, allows you to share it directly from the browser and now we will see how to do it. We open the browser, usually the preset one, Google Chrome, and having found the image, we hold down on it for a long time. Options will come out on a window, let's select the one that's right for us, Share Image. Once the bottom curtain has opened, click onicon of WhatsApp. We select, below, the conversation on which we have to send the image, we will see a 'preview of the same, where we can add a caption and send it through the green symbol bottom right. As on the iPhone, we can select multiple chats, choosing them by holding down on them, so as to send the image to multiple chats through a single operation.
Sending image from the photo gallery

From the chat text bar, click thecamera icon (square with a dot in the center) and drag the photo previews upwards so as to have full visibility of the images, in order from the most recent to the oldest and select the one we need. Alternatively, if we do not find it, click on thepaperclip icon, select Gallery, let's enter Download and select the photo (or even more by holding down). Finally, the preview will appear and we can always send it through thegreen icon bottom right.

First, we open Chrome or Safari and enter the site where we found the image. Right-click on it and select Open the Image in a new tab. Let's move to the newly opened tab and on the image we always press the right button this time choosing "Save the image as… ”. A window will open, superimposed, in which we choose the destination folder and click on Save. At this point, let's go to WhatsApp Web or the WhatsApp application for PC or Mac and proceed to connect it to our account.
