[AC Question]

All pictures I receive come through as slideshows and the text that is sent along with the image(s) also comes through as a picture at the end of the slideshow.

I also am unable to download the pictures-- when I press and hold down onto them, no options appear to press save or download.

What phone? What carrier? What version of Android? What texting app?

Welcome, thanks for the info. An additional question - what do you mean by the statement that the pictures come through as a "slideshow"?

When I receive it in a text, it looks like this:
And when I click on it, it opens up like this:

Thank you for your help!

I don't see anything abnormal there.

I would like to open the image and just see the image in its full size, and not for only a certain amount of time, and I would also like to be able to download it.
