If you’re in your photos folder and want to copy an image from one album to another, for example if you wanted to copy it from your phone camera album into your favorites album, all you have to do is go to the picture that you want, tap and hold it until a pop-up appears with three tabs at the top: ‘Open,’ ‘Copy,’ and ‘Cancel.’

Tap on ‘Copy’ then go to your other album where you want it copied. There will be two tabs at the top of this album: Add and Paste. Tap on Paste and now that photo has been copied over.
