I just found the find on page option in the share menu recently after a couple years of iPhone.
I don’t share with that at all, and I don’t share with my home screen either.
Why are Apple’s gestures and menus so undiscoverable?

When my family was discussing getting an older member a smartphone, I briefly thought about it and realized that the whole lore of what's srollable would be impossible to explain. If you don't want a feature used, put it "below the fold" in a popup.
Instead, you need to tell users “Hey, we have an app! No no stop, wait, don’t go looking in the App Store it’s not there. Instead you need to hit the share icon. Yeah it looks like a box with an arrow coming out of it, down the bottom of the screen. Yeah if it’s not showing you need to tap the gray bar at the bottom first. Then the share button. Then look through for something that says install to Home Screen. Yeah scroll down a bit and maybe scroll across until you see it. Yeah there you go.”
