> "Saving a photo from iMessage"

I feel like I see the root of this problem everywhere in "card"-based UIs. The share button opens a "card" on top and you can move the card up in the view. There should definitely be some consideration for how to represent that there's more "card" outside of your screen.

The simple solution is to design the card so that, at all display layouts, the last visible item is cut off -- it goes a long way toward saying "there's more in this list".

The new share sheet in iOS/iPadOS 13 is not great -- the two rows of horizontal scrolls (one for contacts, the other for apps) was much more discoverable.

Or, you know, a simple scrollbar always worked

I believe we came up with something for this in the 70s
