IOS – How to make a duplicate of a photo on iPhone before I crop or edit it

iosiphonemobile-iphotophotos

There are many times I want to crop a photo using iPhoto on iOS and post to Facebook, and then possibly crop it another way (like panoramic this time), and post to Facebook, but I don't want to lose the original.

Is there a way to make duplicates of the original and edit it using iPhoto on iOS?

P.S. I also found that when you crop a photo in the Photos app, the original is not lost. You can simply re-crop it again (or un-crop it) to get a different cropping or get back the original. But, it still might be good to have a duplicate if you want to keep 2 different ways of cropping of the same photo.

As of iOS 9.3 you can choose to Duplicate photo directly. Pretty convenient.

The Duplicate button is shown after you tap on Sharing button
