Playback progress, volume, and the player menu
Save the image
Choose “⋯” → “Save Artwork” and wait for the image. Allow the requested Photos access if you want to save it.
Find it in Photos
Open Photos and check the saved image. This action saves the artwork, not the song’s audio.

Why is “Save Artwork” unavailable?

Check that the track has valid artwork. Identify the song again or add your own image in “Edit Info”.

How do I save the audio file instead?

Choose “Share/Export”. Audio export and artwork saving are separate actions.
