Now would you look at that: I didn’t even think to look into the sharing menue…

Thanks! It’s not very discoverable and kind of out of context but it works

I have to differ on the usability point, the way SFOS handles this is very intuitive and I never had any problem finding the “save to gallery” option.

Completely different thing is the problems that the mms application has rendering the pictures. Maybe about half of the pics that I receive show up as “unable to show picture” and I have to export them to gallery to see what the picture is about.
