    Why can't i receive mms messages when wifi and data are on? I'm on TMobile network and have the pixel 2. I have it set to "mobile data always active" but it still doesn't download MMS until I cut off my wifi.

    I don't know about the stock messaging app but if you use Textra and enter your own APN settings they have something you can activate that will automatically turn off wifi for T-Mobile so your mms can get through

    Nevertheless, you should not have to turn off Wi-Fi in order to receive MMS messages. Yes, MMS comes over cellular, but still...
