How To Save Photos From Text Message On Pixel 2

One of the easiest things to do on your Google Pixel 2 is to save pictures from a text message even though most users don’t know how to do this. Most times, users receive a text message with pictures attached and they want to download the picture but they don’t know how to do it. I’ll explain below how you can do this on your Google Pixel 2.

Although apps like WhatsApp or Kik has made it easy to save pictures, I’ll explain below how you can save images received via text message on the default text message app that comes with the Google Pixel 2. If you are not using the default text message app, the process for saving pictures might be a little bit different to the one I will explain below.

Whenever you save a picture from a text message or an MMS, the picture will be automatically stored in your photo gallery. As soon as you save the picture on your Google Pixel 2, you can now share it with your friends and colleagues on social media apps like Facebook, Instagram, or send it as an email. You can also use the picture as your background image on your Google Pixel 2. Follow the instructions below to understand how you can save an image from a text message on your Google Pixel 2.

Saving a Photo from Text Message

1. Locate the message with the image that you wish to save
2. Click on the picture and it will enlarge to full screen
3. Click on the icon that looks like a small disk placed in the upper corner of your screen. (if you can’t find the icon, click on anywhere on the image to show up the menu)

How you can Save Multiple Photos from Text Messages
