Google Photos is a great app to store, share, and sync photos across devices.

It has fun features, like suggested animations, collage and movie makers, and even joint libraries, where you and another person can both add photos from your devices to the same album.

Sometimes, you may want to save Google Photos directly to your iPhone's Camera Roll. If you did not originally take the photo, or it isn't in your phone for some other reason, you'll have to download it onto your Camera Roll first.

Note that if you have syncing turned on, Google Photos knows which photos are already on your Camera Roll, and a save button will not appear next to those.

Here's how to save pictures from Google Photos to your iPhone.

How to save images in Google Photos to your iPhone

1. Open the Google Photos app.

2. Find the photos you want to save by navigating the tabs at the bottom of the screen. Since these are likely photos you did not take yourself, they might be in the "Sharing" tab at the bottom right of the screen, or the "Albums" tab second from the left.

3. If you only want to save one photo, tap it, then hit the button that says "Save" at the top of the screen. This will save these photos to your Google Photos library.

Tap the photo you want, then tap "Save."

4. If you want to save multiple photos, long tap them to select them — a blue check mark will appear in their top left corner. Once you have selected all the photos you need, tap the button that looks like a cloud with an arrow in it in the top left corner of the screen.

Long tap the photos you want to save, then tap the cloud button.

5. Go back to your Photos tab, the button in the bottom left corner of the screen.

6. Scroll until you find the photos you just downloaded; they are organized by date taken.

If you want to save a single image to your iPhone's Photos app

Now that you have downloaded the images to your Google Photos library, you can save them to your iPhone's Photos app. Here's how:

1. Tap the photo to bring it up in full screen, then tap the three dots in the top right corner.

Tap the photo, then tap the three dots in the top right corner.

If you want to save multiple images to your iPhone's Photos app

1. Long tap each photo until the blue selection check appears in their top left corner. Then press the button at the top of your screen that looks like a box with an arrow coming out of it.
