There is a share button now which provides the pgn.

at the end of a game i used to be able to export to pgn. This functionality no longer exists. Can you confirm and provide an explanation as to why this was removed?

I can confirm that what you are stating is incorrect. The ability to save PGN files to your computer has not been removed. What task were you able to complete before that you are unable to complete now?
Thanks. I am using an IPAD. I used to see an export option at the end of a game. I still see the Share option but that saves a link to my game.

Are you attempting to save copies of your game onto a program on your IPad? I'm looking at the instructions and it's looking like you can copy and paste the game into your program of choice and save the pgn file there or copy it to a text editor or a program that you can save the file with a .pgn extension (A PGN file is esentially a text file).
Ok we can go through an extra step to save to text with the link, yes. But for us who play via app why was the export to PGN removed?
It was an easy way for me to review games in what I felt were free and better tools than chess.com provides.
