Answer 2

@Thanh-Cong Vo is right about how to save the image to Photo Album. And See what say the Apples documents about saving image to photo album

To save a still image to the user’s Camera Roll album, call the UIImageWriteToSavedPhotosAlbum function from within the body of the imagePickerController:didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo: method. To save a movie to the user’s Camera Roll album, instead call the UISaveVideoAtPathToSavedPhotosAlbum function. These functions, described in UIKit Function Reference, save the image or movie only; they do not save metadata.

Starting in iOS 4.0, you can save still-image metadata, along with a still image, to the Camera Roll. To do this, use the writeImageToSavedPhotosAlbum:metadata:completionBlock: method of the Assets Library framework. See the description for the UIImagePickerControllerMediaMetadata key.
