In-Depth Information
If you press and hold a link rather than tapping it, a little floating text bubble appears and
shows you the underlying URL. In addition, it offers the following options, as shown in Fig-
ure
20-5
:
•
Open:
Opens the page.
•
Open in New Tab:
Opens the page while stashing the current page in one of the
nine available tabs, as we describe in Chapter
4
.
•
Add to Reading List:
Adds the page to your Reading List, as we describe in
Chapter
4
.
•
Copy:
Copies the URL to the Clipboard (so that you can paste it into an e-mail
message, save it in Notes, or whatever).
To see the underlying URL, press and hold a URL in Mail with buttons to open
or copy it. Having this information in Mail is even more useful because it enables you to spot
bogus links without switching to Safari or actually visiting the URL.
If you press and hold most images, a Save Image button appears in addition to the four other
buttons (see Figure
20-6
). Tap Save Image, and the picture is saved to the Camera Roll on
the Albums tab of the Photos app. Tap Copy, and it's copied to the Clipboard so that you can
paste it into an e-mail message or document created in another app (such as Apple's Pages or
Keynote).
