I had a friend share some photos to me via Google Photos (on an iPhone). It was sent as an email to me, saying "Person X has shared X photos with you". There is a link https://photos.google.com/share/... provided, which I opened on iOS Safari. The album had both photos and videos. For the photos, I could click on the 3 dots in the top right corner and then "Download", which opened just the image and I could hold on the image and save it to Photos.app. However, the videos don't have the 3 dots, instead just having an "i" icon that shows the date and the location.

Is there a way to add the video to my Photos.app on iOS? I solved it on my Mac, but not on my iPhone yet.
- I don't want to install Google Photos.app just for this
- I'd prefer not to download a third-party app to handle .zip files just for this (there is a button to download everything as a .zip file)
