Welcome to Android Central! If all you see is a message that says "Tap to Download," that often means that it's an MMS message (i.e., a picture message or a group text) that you can't receive because of an issue with your mobile data -- either your mobile data isn't turned on, or the reception is poor, or your APN settings are incorrect. If you asked the person if they sent you a picture, they might have said no because they sent you a group text (without a picture), which is still MMS.
The first step is to make sure your 3G/4G mobile data is turned on, and getting a good signal. Is it?
