How do I save pictures to specific folder?

Hi!

I have recently gotten an iPhone 6S Plus (iOS 10.2.1) after two horrible years of having an Android-device. I love browsing Imgur (via the app, not Safari), and I often save memes from there, but they all automatically gets saved to my base "Pictures"-folder in my gallery. I know I can create new folders and move the pictures to that one, but they will still be kept in the "Pictures"-folder (and if I delete them from there, they will be deleted from the new folder as well), and frankly it's just a waste of time.

Is there any way to get to choose where pictures gets saved? Or can I just get camera pictures saved somewhere else? I hate to not have a clean overview of pictures.

Thanks!

Ah, I see. But is there any way I can point the pictures to get saved in a specific folder from the beginning?

They are not stored in two places.

ALL of the pics are stored in the main "pictures" folder. When you create your own album, that album ONLY contains pointers to those pics in your pictures folder. There are not two copies. The picture lives on the main folder. Your albums merely contain pointer to the pics of your choice.
