Idk about everything else but I just tried to save a photo from iMessage and it is literally the second option (Save). Tried on my Mac and phone, no problems at all.

Edit: nvm I think this is an issue on ios13. Definitely weird design choice, wonder what is the story behind this decision.

Yeah, it's an iOS 13 issue. Illustrated here: https://imgur.com/a/giqdiAR

First screenshot: "Wait, why is 'copy' the only option?"

Second screenshot: What shows if you scroll past "copy", for which there's no visual indication showing that's even possible.

There's no rational reason for "copy" and all the other options to be visually separated, either. They could've been obviously part of one continuous set of options and it'd be a lot clearer to people.
