Download from where?
Download using which app?
What is the exact wording of any error message you are getting.

If you are referring to photos in SMS/MMS text messages, as a general rule those apps cannot use wifi and must use cell data. However, if you are using the SMS app from your carrier, it may support picture downloads via wifi.

Welcome to Android Central! Does this happen on any wi-fi network, or only on a certain network?
