Pictures fail to save to my gallery from text messages

[Crystal Keiki]

I can't save pictures from text messages. I used to be able to and now when i save it it goes to downloads and not my gallery. I click on my files go to downloads and it won't open! Why is it failing to save? Never had problems till now. I have a samsung s8+

Well my S9+ does the same as in saves to downloads but they do open, but I use mood messager and that does save to gallery.

Is it that all you pic's won't open from all you text messages or just from the one text you're trying to download from?

Its every text. Every picture. I'll attach screenshots
