Download image in Safari into Photos app

Hello; I'm trying to download an image in Safari and have the image show up in the Photos app.


Right now when I download an image in Safari, the only way I can access it is through the Files app - The files appear in the "Downloads" folder on the phone, but there doesn't seem to be any way for the Photos app to see those images and show them in the Photos app.


A workaround I'm currently using is downloading the image, sharing it through iMessage back to myself, then saving the image into the Photos app. But there must be a better way of getting an image from Safari into the Photos app without having to go through iMessage.


Thanks!

In the Files App, in the Downloads folder, long press on the image, and then select Share form the context menu that appears, then scroll down to Save Image. This saves the image directly to the Photos App
