How to create a new contact from a received text in Messages

Until recent updates I was able to create a new contact directly from imessage. That is to say that if I received a message from an unknown number, I could add the number to an existing contact or I could create a new contact by just tapping the sender's number and then tapping "info".... Now those choices are gone. Any suggestions on how to create a contact from an imessage without a lot of clicking around and app switching and copy/paste nonsense?

Or am I missing something obvious?

KEEP SCROLLING! The add contact from text message feature is still there, but Apple has a spacing issue bug!


Create a Contact is at the bottom of the contact info page after scrolling through about 6 screens of gray space! This still needs to be fixed but at least I can save a contact through text messages now!
