Facebook and BeMyEyes

Would someone please describe the steps to follow in order to get BeMyEyes to describe an image from the Facebook app on my iPhone. The share link on Facebook isn't the same as in other apps. It doesn't bring up the normal share sheet. How do you send a specific image from Facebook to BeMyEyes?

Honestly, the best way to do this is to either, save the picture directly to your device, or screenshot the photo, have it described with Be My Eyes, and then delete it afterwards. Personally, I save the picture to my device, if I'm interested, but, yeah. This makes no sense, because you can do this on WhatsApp, Instagram, and, I think, on Threads as well. I'm not sure what the difference is in terms of privacy on Facebook, in regards to the other Meta platforms, But, yeah.

Somehow the sharing from Facebook on iOS is limited. It's fine on Android, anyone can share images to my app PiccyBot from there, for example. I am looking at a method to make my app directly useable from Facebook on iOS, as saving first is an extra step.
