Question Pictures I've Texted Won't Load on My Phone

[tinama]

I texted a bunch of images [wifi] to my friend. When I look at the text string on my phone, I see the images, when I click on them I get: Cannot Load
I want to upload the pics to Google Photos or otherwise get the images on my computer

Motorola Moto G Power 5G 2024 android 15, signed into google. If I take pics with the camera they upload to Google photos as expected. Images on a text string when connected to a cell network, work as expected

Welcome to Android Central! Are these images from somewhere else besides your camera roll?

What happens if you long-press the image in the message thread?
