Saving Photos with iOS 13

I made the terrible mistake of installing 13.1.2. On both my iPhone and my iPad.

A friend texted me a photo and I went to save it to 'Photos' but the option isn't there any more! I can Airdrop, Message, mail, etc. or send it to an app, but just 'save to Photos' isn't listed.

Is there some special triple-tap, or 'super-swipe' pr some newly inventive, but not intuitively obvious method I haven't been made aware of to do this seemingly common task?

The same applies to eMail attached photos. Can't save to 'Photos'.


Help, please

Forget it, I found the 'save it' function hidden further down the screen (out of sight until I scrolled down further.)

I still consider it a flaw. The most common task, when I receive a photo is to save it to Photos. Why is 'Airdrop' first on the list?
