[Android Central Question]

How to shift photos from my text messages to my gallery? They go to my downloads not my gallery. Thanks

Welcome to Android Central! If the photo is in the /Download directory, it should show up in the Gallery app, unless there's a file called ".nomedia" in the /Download directory. Use your file manager app to see. You can also use the file manager app to copy that photo file to the /DCIM/Camera directory, where it should then show up in the Gallery app.
