"Add To Album" choice not available

I'm trying to move (copy) a picture from Recents to a different album. I've found several references that say I should be using an "Add To Album" choice, but that choice doesn't appear on my phone. Is there a way to add/restore that choice? Thanks.

iPhone 8, iOS 14

Hello mboonieNY.


Once you've reached the screen shown in your screenshot, scroll down. Below the AirDrop, Messages, Mail, and Twitter icons you should see a list. If Add to Album is not included in that list scroll all the way to the bottom and tap Edit Actions. Here you'll have a list of actions. Tap the ones you want and then tap Done.


Cheers.

Sorry, I tried to use these directions before. I tried performing the steps under the heading "Add photos and videos to an existing album". At step 4, it says "Tap Add to Album from the list of actions." However, I don't have an "Add to Album" choice. I've attached a screen shot of what my phone shows after I tap the Share icon.
