How do I simply copy a google photo to Clipboard so I can do a simple paste into any app?

https://support.google.com/photos/thread/2514728/how-do-i-simply-copy-a-google-photo-to-clipboard-so-i-can-do-a-simple-paste-into-any-app?hl=en I took a screenshot, but this would apply to anything in my Google photos. I simply want to share an image to an existing thread in a Facebook group, NOT to do a general share to Facebook in a new thread. The obvious way would be to paste from the clipboard. Is there an easy way to put a Google photo into the clipboard? There only seem to be share options. I don't want to share as a link, I want to paste the actual image.

Any solutions for this now we are in 2025?

thanks a lot

You don't need the clipboard.

Go into FB's app, create a post, add photo, select Photos from the various options of where to get photos from.

A screenshot will be in the Album called Screenshots, so inside the Photos app, navigate to Albums, find the Screenshots album, and your screenshot should be in there for you to select and attach to the FB post.

Then ideally you should delete your Facebook account and uninstall the parasitic app.
