Can't Save or download Photo from Teams to iPhone Photos

If I open the share options in Teams for a jpg photo, it does not show an option to "Save" the photo. I need to save it to my iOS Photos, but cannot.    Any help greatly appreciated! I am on an iPh...

Chris111ProjectSame thing here - the bookmark thingy means that it appears under ...More-Saved, which appears to be one of the most useless features there is.

The trick to saving images is to get the hidden toolbar to show up while watching the image in full screen. Long tap doesn't work. Single tap on the image doesn't work [edit: now when I'm trying again it suddenly does]. It's not there by default as in every app made by a company that cares about user interface. Turns out that one has to tap at a spot OUTSIDE the image, i.e. in any black area next to the image. Then a toolbar comes up at the top, in which there is a sharing icon at the top right. This leads to the familiar IOS sharing interface. Save Image is one of the options, and for me it works.

Couldn't find help on internet about this...

Sjoerd321 does teams have access to your photo library? When I did that, the save photo option appeared for me.

    Wonder555 It only has limited access, so maybe that affects. Thanks for reminding!
