Save attachments

If you received an attachment to a text message, you can save it on your phone. In the message, just touch & hold the attachment, then touch to save it.

To view the saved attachment:

• For photos or videos, open the Photos app and touch > Device folders > Download.
• For other attachments, open the Downloads app.

If you do not save a photo or video from a message, it is kept within the message only. So, if you delete the message, you also delete the attachment. (You can try to recover recently deleted messages.)
