Galaxy NOTE 9: Save Picture From Text Message

Are you a fan of receiving MMS text messages on your smartphone? Do you happen to own a Samsung Galaxy Note 9? If MMS is your favorite way to receive and send awesome photos with your close friends and family members, then you can save these pictures directly on your Android.

Sending pictures through text messages eliminates the need for a data connection or social media which is a different route in today’s world of social media giants like Snapchat, Instagram, and Facebook. MMS helps you get intimate with your contact list without the stress of mobile data or Wi-Fi connections.

With this method, you can access photos from the Photo Gallery instead having to navigate through numerous message threads to find your pictures.
