No "create new contact" option from a text message

Previously, when I received a text message on my phone and the number wasn't already in my contacts,I could click on the arrow next to the phone number, whichbrought up a menu including the "info" tab. From there, there would be an option to "create new contact." After an update this week, that option is no longer there --so I can't ceate a new contact from a text message. I would be surprised if programmers intentionally deleted this option. Am I missing something? Is there another way to create a new contact from a text message?

Hi. This happened to me as well. I reduced the font size back to normal (I had increased it for better visibility) and was able to see the 'Add Contact' again. Seems to be some issues with the display rendering on that screen when font size is increased. Hope that helps.
