Once I have downloaded a picture from msg mms msg android, how do I find the picture?

[Linda Heidelberg]

I check downloads, but nothing is there. Ckd auto retrieve is off. I know very little about the techy side of androids. Please help. I can't seem to find these things from day one. I did find some downloads by accident one day & didn't recognize anything because of letters & numbers were just confusing. Some bills from way back when on pdf. Please help

Restart the phone. Open your photo app (Google Photos? Gallery?) Look for the picture. Share it. Other than searching with a file manager, that's about the best you can do. Different msg apps and different phones store images in different places.

Welcome to Android Central! The Android Messages app saves to the /Pictures/Messages directory, so most other SMS apps probably use the /Pictures directory as well.
