next sms android phone downloading pic from a text

[PacerdonFL]

An employee sends me pictures from work.
I need to save these or download them and the message I always get is "download to SD card" - and I have no SD card...
How to I re-point that from SD card to download / internal storage?
My phone is a pixel 7
Thank you

Welcome to Android Central! What messaging app are you using? Google Messages is the stock messaging app on the Pixel 7, and I don't see that behavior on my 7 Pro. It says "1 photo saved to your Messages stored media" on mine.

EDIT: Oops, sorry -- I realized you're using Handcent Next SMS. Have you contacted their support team yet? help@handcent.com

Sometimes, an app might regard the phone's internal storage as an "internal SD" (this is really old terminology for Android). What happens if you allow the app to save to "SD card"? Does it fail?

Did you enable storage in the app permissions?

I guess I have to try the Handcent forum - there is no place in the app settings to direct any kind of save from the sms / mms . Thank you,
