Photos don't save

Micksup

iPF Noob
Can someone please help ,My I pad 2 has stopped saving photos ,or rather has become selective .
It won't save photos from Facebook ? When I hold my finger on the screen it does ask ,I click save
Photo and nothing ? Unless its saving them in another location other than my photo album. The Safari
Link saves them ok?
Any help would be appreciated .
Thanks; Mick
 
Have you checked the Camera Roll in your Photos app? this is where the photos should be saved.

Thanks for your time . Yes I have checked camera roll it has been fine till today or yesterday I think .

Could it have something to do with the new OS ? But it does save from Saffari , but not Facebook .
 
Heya Goofy8275

It's ok now . There was some security thing in Settings for Facebook that had to be turned on. I didn't realize I switched it of ,
Or it's something new in the new OS.
Thanks again .

Welcome to the iPF forums. I'm glad you solved your problem and took the time to explain what you did to solve it. It may help the next person with the same problem.
 
I save Facebook pictures regularly to my iPad. They have always appeared on my camera roll. Since updating yesterday to the new os, they no longer appear in the photos. Please help!

Yes. This is the new privacy setting at work. You have to allow apps to access your camera roll. They can't just go there until you have given them permission.
