iMessage video not showing in Photos app after saving on iPhone 11

I have iPhone 11 iOS 18.6.2. I have a video sent to my messages and I’m trying to save to my photos. When I press the video and select save it’s not showing in picture. Where is it saving?

You can fix it by forcing Photos to rebuild its library index:

Settings → Photos → turn off iCloud Photos
Choose Download Photos & Videos (not delete)
Restart phone
Turn iCloud Photos back on

This forces a resync and usually makes missing videos appear.
