ios 15 and how pictures from messages are in my camera roll

I just updated my phone to IOS 15 and I want to know how to turn the feature off that makes pictures from my messages save in my camera roll. I had under 3,000 pictures in my camera roll before the update but now I have over 3000 because my phone saved a ton of pictures from my messages that I don’t want.
