For example,you could use DependencyService to call the natvie method to save it to the system photo album.

create a interface in your forms project:

public interface ISaveToGallery
{
    void Save(string filePath,string fileName);
}

then in you Android project:

class SaveToGallery: ISaveToGallery
{
    public void Save(string filePath, string fileName)
    {
          MediaStore.Images.Media.InsertImage(Android.App.Application.Context.ContentResolver,
                filePath, fileName, null);
    }
}

the call it like:

protected async void TapGestureRecognizerCommand(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
            await CrossMedia.Current.Initialize();

            ImageSource TempimageFile = null;
            new ImageCropper()
            {
                PageTitle = "Crop Photo",
                AspectRatioX = 3, // 
                CropShape = ImageCropper.CropShapeType.Rectangle, //Cropt shape
                SelectSourceTitle = "Select source",  // Pop up Title
                TakePhotoTitle = "Take Photo",       // Popup - 1st option 
                PhotoLibraryTitle = "Photo Library", //Popup - 2nd option
                Success = (imageFile) =>
                {
                    Device.BeginInvokeOnMainThread(() =>
                    {
                        TempimageFile = ImageSource.FromFile(imageFile);

                        DisplayAlert("test", "te: " + TempimageFile, "OK");
                        ImageURL.Source = TempimageFile;
                        DependencyService.Get<ISaveToGallery>().Save(imageFile,"your file name");
                    });
                }
            }.Show(this);
    }
