Why cant i diwnload photos in messenger?

[Android Central Question]

I keep getting the message, Unable to download MMS message. I have restarted my phone (Galaxy S9+) and updated facebook.

Welcome to Android Central! That usually means a problem with your mobile data reception, since MMS requires mobile data, and not voice signal or wi-fi. Is your mobile data turned on, and if so, how's the signal strength?

Are you using Facebook Messenger for your SMS/MMS, or some other messenger app?
