How to move photos from Messenger to Gallery

How can I transfer photos received in a text message from Messenger to Gallery?

Restart the phone. If they're the type of file that Gallery can display, they'll show up. (Gallery has no folder of its own - it displays whatever Media Scanner picks up, and that runs when you restart the phone or run media.Re.Scan.

Welcome to Android Central! Is this the stock Messenger app or the Facebook Messenger app?

If it's the stock Messenger app and you're receiving a photo in a text message, are you selecting the photo and saving it to the phone? The photo won't show up in Gallery if it's only in the messaging app -- you have to download it to the phone first.
