Why is PHOTOS no longer an option as a place to store photographs?
PAST METHOD: When I received a photo in an attachment to an email, I would click on the SHARE icon, then click on either GOOGLE PHOTOS or PHOTOS in order to save it.
CURRENT SITUATION: I can still click on the SHARE icon, but neither PHOTO icon appears as a location option.
Please explain clearly — for a Novice. Thank you.

iPad, iPadOS 17
On my iPad with iPadOS 18.0.1, when I have an email with a picture attachment, I can touch and hold on the picture to bring up a pop-up menu, like this:
with the choice to "Save Image." When I tap that, the picture shows up in my
Photos Library.
In messages, there's a little check box next to pictures, and tapping that saves the picture to Photos.
I think this all worked the same way in iOS 17. Do these things work for you in the same way?
Thank you, Richard, for your very clear response. I have 17.7, which apparently is quite different. This is what I see when I click on a picture which was an attachment in an email. it actually does give me the option to save to Photos. So, I will just keep trying it!

Right-- I included that I was using 18, because I thought that my screenshot might be a bit different-- I couldn't remember exactly what 17 looked like. But, like you say, it's similar enough, I think.
Photos option disappeared for storing images
