When you go to select a picture to save it now only offers a copy option. So now you have to take a screenshot and crop it manually.

The select screen is fundamentally broken.

The flashlight button was a simple on/off from the swipe down. Now it's got a sub screen. Done doesn't mean "done using flashlight" it means "done using this sub screen". It's a whole extra thing that never needed to exist.

Let's just roll back to the way it was. Because this is horrible. Decreased functionality or unnecessary extra steps.

I'm still not sure what you mean either. Not once have I ever needed to use the 'Circle to Search' feature (what happens when the Home key is held on Pixels, which appears to be what you're using in your picture) to save a picture. If I want a screenshot, I just use Power+VolDown

Edit: I see what you mean now. The app switcher (Using gestures so swiping up from the home button) is what you're using. Yeah, copy button now. Just select Files from the list and it'll download it. Likely changed to prioritize sharing memes quickly instead of doanloading for personal use.
