Why won't my phone show me pictures sent to me?

[AC Question]

Why won't my phone show me pictures that other people send me? All what comes up is a long text of coding instead of a picture. Every time i press it, it just stops working

There're three reasons this could be caused by. One, your phone cant receve photos, or unless you use to receve photos then it cant be that. Two, your phone's coding is wrong or developed a mutation/error over time. Three, your data is at a limite, without data you can never receve photos.
