That bugs me too. I've resorted to placing the photo on the clipboard, then paste it. A workaround, but well worth preserving your sanity.

Heh I don't bother with the app and suffer with the web interface.

Annoyingly I now need to "Request Desktop Site" to use messenger or else it tries to get me to install the app. The artificial friction they're put in place has pushed me ever closer to just deleting my account.

If you go to mbasic.facebook.com you'll get the low-end phone version, which allows messenger access.

Thank you, I remember using this at some point but forgot it. I'm still probably going to trash my account but this does make it much more tolerable. This and i.reddit.com make life on mobile a bit more pleasant.

Also, “maybe I guess” now means “yes forever” to them. How many inebriated TOS acknowledgements have happened?
