Photos saving to camera roll when all options are off

I recently noticed that all the photos I take in messages automatically save to my camera roll. I've shut off all the sharing options, but it is still saving to my camera roll super annoying. Does anybody have a fix?

iPhone 15 Plus, iOS 18

It has been like that for quite awhile now, maybe when ios 15 came out.

There is no settings to turn that off.
