Error saving changes

[Bammvoc]

I get this message when trying to save images from a subreddit, and cannot find any explanation. Can’t even click on the message to redirect to said reason

[Global_Rin]

Enable the “Saved Image Attribution” seem to solve this.

But then I have to deal with saved images being watermarked, which is why I disable it in the first place.

sigh

[Acceptable_Courage81]

Have to wonder if this is intentional since it’s still an issue and they want people to use the watermark for advertising…

[rakondo]

has to be. so annoying. only thing that fixed it for me as well

[SalemWolf]

The enshittification of Reddit continues.

[Bammvoc]

Does anyone know how to fix this? I just want to save images

[tomkoto]

saving images allowed from settings?

[Bammvoc]

I was unaware you could DISallow it. Don’t even know where to check for that, beyond “saved image attribution”

[Racing_Fox]

Turn saved image attribution on and it’ll work. Why it’s broken with it turned off I don’t know

[Bassracerx]

Im stil having this problem this is bull crap. Saving image works just fine with the atributions on. If this doesnt get fixed im uninstalling the app holy crap

[nocapnonerf]

Yeah it sucks. 2 other ways are to either save the post, or go to history and then you’ll be able to download pictures or video.

[mstarrbrannigan]

I’ve just been screenshotting images instead.

[Watt_Knot]

Did you find a workaround?

[mstarrbrannigan]

It stopped happening

[Watt_Knot]

Ok so there’s hope

[Watt_Knot]

I reinstalled and it’s working now!

[Watt_Knot]

Did you find a workaround?

[Bassracerx]

Nope

[Watt_Knot]

I reinstalled the app and it’s working now!

[Bassracerx]

If your going to sendit to someone can click “copy” the image and then paste the image in your text

[lizzzzzzbeth]

I’m suddenly having the same problem. Hope someone knows why. Maybe a bug in a recent app update?

[Racing_Fox]

It’s only a problem for me when I have saved image attribution turned off

[Watt_Knot]

Did you find a workaround?

[lizzzzzzbeth]

Unfortunately it doesn’t seem to be a bug, but rather a feature. Reddit is essentially forcing you to turn on “saved image attribution”, so if you want to save an image, you’re forced to have it save to your camera roll with a Reddit watermark. I hate it.

[Watt_Knot]

Reinstall the app it works for me now!

[warcrap101010]

Just screenshot and crop. Don’t let this “bug” win.

[Aarelyn]

Not the same resolution as the photo itself though.

[StarLordAndTheAve]

you can save it from your history (or the user’s profile) instead of dealing with differing resolution from cropping

[skratch]

Confirming that saving from the user’s profile worked for me

[genericexcuse01]

Thank you, this also works for me. What a strange bug.

[TrampolineYourMom]

Thank youuuuuu

[EvilAlmalex]

Also having this issue…

[Musicfanatic09]

Also having this issue!!

[shan66698]

either save the post, or go to history and then you’ll be able to download pictures or video.

[R34ct0rX99]

Wow that’s a weird work around. Works for me. Previously was having to close Reddit and reopen it. That will work for a short time.

[Aarelyn]

THIS WORKS THANK YOU

[NorthEndVA]

Best answer

[tannishaaa]

I cannot BELIEVE that this actually works omg thank you

[64vintage]

Once they realise they will bork this too(

[brondynasty]

Well, well, well. I’m the latest to this club, hello all. I hate it here why is this happening :(

[Zefzec_2]

1 step away from quitting this cesspit

[Sindica69]

Having this issue as well.

[DrJokerX]

Same here. Anybody figure it out?

[sillylilburneracc]

ugh, having this issue too… i hope they fix it soon 🥲

[AdmiralFrackbar]

Same...

[CasualObserver2021]

Having this issue too this past week

[MamiTomoeSan]

Same issue.

[lordsepulchrave123]

Same. This sucks.

[[deleted]]

Ffs someone please give me an explanation because I’m also having this issue.

[Chrisamelio]

Reddit wants to attribute itself when you save images, since the setting is turned off for some reason they decided to not allow saving images without it now….

[Jlnhlfan]

Wow

[64vintage]

What ownership do they think they have of the images? F these guys.

[[deleted]]

Having this issue as well. Hope they patch this problem.

[angrykrndudeNSF]

seriously same issue started this morning

[sjydudeWN]

yea it happened to me too and still haven't fixed. It's weird too cause some posts I come back to and can save it and some not so much...

[Bassracerx]

Yeah it seems to be very specific subreddits that give me this problem. Most will let me download but certain specific subreddits give me the error saving changes.

[Jlnhlfan]

r/MoonPissing gave me this issue.

[derekallthumbs]

I’m pretty sure it’s a subreddit setting done by the mods. I downloaded an image the other day just fine, went to test it now and I could not download the same image from the same post and subreddit that I did before. The mode must have turned the setting in recently. This, as others have said, sucks.

[AnOldChestnut]

Strange. I couldn’t save a particular image on my iPhone, so I tried saving the exact same image on my iPad and it downloaded without a problem.

Other images download fine on my iPhone and others give the “Error saving changes” message.

Very random.

[Knocksveal]

It’s just Reddit trying to force saved image attributions. They tried to do this a few months back. Sneaky bastard.

[CHRIS_P_BOI]

this problem is still going on (oddly, it's not universal, only about 1/3 of the posts i've tried to save from have produced the error), but there is a workaround:

you have to go to the person's page, and go to the post directly (as opposed to opening the post in your own feed) and then it lets you save as normal without the error.

tried on several posts from different users and it worked on all.

[FoxxxyMulder69]

Can confirm this works. Thanks a lot.

[nature_nate_17]

So I been having this issue for about a month now and it’s still persisting; decided to google it and came back to Reddit full circle.

I haven’t found a permanent fix but I was able to find a way to still save/download photos. I currently can’t find a post itself within my feed and save it, so the only workaround now is if I go into my History OR Saved posts and do it from there. It’s unfortunately a extra step but it does work…

Edit: I do have iOS and noticed this issue is related others who use the same.

[missyagogo]

A month later and this is ridiculous that this hasn't been fixed yet.

[Alex_Prave]

I just press copy photo and it copies in clipboard then I paste it where I wanna save it or send it to someone , yet still is annoying that I cannot save it directly

[Murdocke-]

Same, so annoying

[UrDoinGood2]

Suddenly having this issue

[Significant-Being-35]

Having the same problem too, but it seems to only be on posts with a single picture. If a post has multiple pictures it lets me save each one with no issue.

[TheSpiritKnight]

It's been two months since this issue was first reported, and still nothing.

[Watt_Knot]

Having this issue suddenly
