No Longer able to create a contact from Apple Maps?

A very useful feature in Apple Maps was the ability to create or update a contact from Apple Maps. I tried it just now and can no longer find the function to do this. I searched several places where it said the feature has changed and I need to do some form of share or elipses ... and I can find it there. Well now on iOS26.1, I cannot find this feature anywhere.


Is this still possible or has it been removed forever? I've looked in MacOS 26.1, iPadOS 26.1 and iOS26.1.

I’m on iOS 26.1 and I can do that without issue. I just long press on the location (unless it’s a business that’s already selectable, then just a quick tap will suffice), and then press the share icon in the upper left. It gives the options to create new contact or add to existing contact. If you don’t see it, perhaps you can share a screenshot of what you do see?
