Thank you very much for fixing the trouble and for the ping!

I had also recently tried to upload from URL and it hung there for a minute as well for a low-KB image. I closed the upload overlay and tried uploading it by URL again and it completed immediately.
(This was just prior to my recent bug report about the URL upload embed code that fixed. I just figured the frozen upload overlay was something on my side and disregarded it as trying to do it again allowed it to upload and insert the embed code.)

It’s an asynchronous function, so the upload will continue even if your connection is slow or gets interrupted. The UI will stall, but the process will continue in the background, that’s why it felt like it worked immediately when you tried again.
The image upload was already completed and the duplicate detection function just had to pick the image name (its hash) to generate the embed link.

Thank you, AOU. I presumed that to be how it works as the re-upload had completed immediately without any delay. I figured the initial stuck upload overlay not completing the uplaod was on my side due to my slow net and old browsers and such, but this post sounded similar to what I encountered and thought it might be more than just my local issue.
However, I re-read the other comments on the post just now and I realize that I had misread the reported issue previously. I believe the reported issue is that the actual upload button was not appearing for him on the upload overlay after selecting a local image, not that the upload overlay was stuck uploading the image as I had encountered.
I'm glad what I encountered still continues to be only a local issue for me due to slow, unreliable internet and not an instance of a bug.

I don't have a way to "copy" on device images that I can find. I can however confirm that direct urls and pasting an image from the net works as expected. The upload button shows up immediately after adding a direct link or pasting an image.

If you go to your photo album or file explorer you can long press the image or its file and copy it to your phone's clipboard.
