Sharing an image from the image preview screen shares a link to the image instead #1089

Just noticing an annoying feature in the latest update: sharing an image from the meme thread now shares a link to the image on imgur now, rather than just sending the funny picture to the recipient.

I know it’s still possible to copy the image and paste it into Messages or wherever, but the share sheet was a lot more convenient for bombarding my family with memes. Is there any way to reverse the change? Or is it some bullshit imgur has pulled? — Coq au Nandos

Here’s a post where I replicated the issue: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?goto=post&postid=513803349#post513803349

I open the image with the viewer pop up, use the bottom right icon and usually share with the share sheet straight to Messages or FB Messenger (clicking the app icon or contact shortcut, not going copy image). Before the update, Awful would just output the funny image. Now it posts both the image and a link to it on Imgur. — Coq au Nandos
