I have a S21. I am using Samsung's Message app for my texting. When a picture is texted to me I have to tap on the thumbnail in order for the picture to download to my phone. Is there any way to have the images download automatically upon opening the text? I find it annoying to have to do this every time.

I was using Verizon Message+ before (when I was on Verizon) and they automatically opened. Unfortunately I can no longer use the Verizon Message+ because I can no longer install it on my tablet (although it does work on my phone) and I need to use the same app on both phone and tablet to sync messages across my devices.

Does anyone have any suggestions?
 
Open messages, go to settings by tapping the 3 dots. Open more settings, multimedia and toggle on auto retrieve and auto retrieve roaming.
 
Thanks. I hope that works. the first setting, Auto Retrieve was already turned on. I did however turn on the other one, Auto Retrieve while roaming. I'll see what happens.
