Use below code for stored image into gallery

UIImageWriteToSavedPhotosAlbum(imgNewImage, nil, nil, nil);

imgNewImage is your UIImage object.

You can use this function:

UIImageWriteToSavedPhotosAlbum(UIImage *image, 
                           id completionTarget, 
                           SEL completionSelector, 
                           void *contextInfo);

You only need completionTarget, completionSelector and contextInfo if you want to be notified when the UIImage is done saving, otherwise you can pass in nil.

For Example :

-(void)savePhoto {
   NSURL *imageURL = receivedURL;
   UIImage *image = [UIImage imageWithData:[NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:imageURL]];
   UIImageWriteToSavedPhotosAlbum(image, self, @selector(savedPhotoImage:didFinishSavingWithError:contextInfo:), nil);
   [UIApplication sharedApplication].networkActivityIndicatorVisible = YES;
}

- (void)   savedPhotoImage:(UIImage *)image
  didFinishSavingWithError:(NSError *)error
           contextInfo:(void *)contextInfo
{
   UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:nil
                                                message:@"This image has been saved to your photo album"
                                               delegate:nil
                                      cancelButtonTitle:@"OK"
                                      otherButtonTitles:nil];
    [UIApplication sharedApplication].networkActivityIndicatorVisible = NO;
    [alert show];
}

UserDetailsViewController *userDetailsViewController = [[UserDetailsViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"UserDetailsViewController" bundle:nil];
userDetailsViewController.img = [UIImage imageNamed:@"abc.png"];

You have to store the image in Photo Album if you need to see it in the iPhone Photo App use this code 

 ALAssetsLibrary *library = [[ALAssetsLibrary alloc] init];
    UIImage *image=//what ever Image you wan tot save and view in photo album of iPhone;

 [library writeImageToSavedPhotosAlbum:[image CGImage] orientation:(ALAssetOrientation)[SAVEIMAGE imageOrientation] completionBlock:^(NSURL *assetURL, NSError *error){
        if (error) {
            // TODO: error handling

        } else {




            // TODO: success handling
        }

    }];
