I’ve used the Photo Library plugin before to save images to the gallery and I haven’t noticed any problems even on Android!

Have you tried it with Ionic 2+ already?

Well start by providing some error logs please! Add the then() and catch() block to the function and see what the logs say.

Also, you might need to request authorization for the library before directly writing it!
