Forgive me if this has been discussed before but I just got my S6 this weekend. When I look up images on the internet I can't seem to be able to select them so that I can save them to my phone. I'm used to having one of the hard or soft buttons be a menu button. I seem to be missing a lot of options without it. How do you select an image from the internet and save it to your phone?

I guess I should clarify my problem. This only doesn't work when I first search for a certain image on Google, for example, Game of Thrones images. Then you get the endless pages of just images. I used to be able to select one of them and save to my phone. Now it seems as though all it will do is enlarge the photo and give me the option to go to the website, where I can rarely find that exact image. I have no problem selecting images and saving to my phone when I'm on an actual site. I just can't seem to select any of the images when I first do the Google search

Try just hold your finger on the image until a menu pops up. There should be a "save image as" option. Might not always be there though.

Yet it never seems to be there when I'm still on the Google page looking at a large collection of images from all around the internet. I only seem to be able to do that when I'm actually on a specific website that has an image on it. But I used to be able to select the pics from the Google Search page. Don't really know if it's a lollipop thing or a phone thing maybe even a Google thing. Just wondering if anybody else has had this experience
