iMessage Photo Download

When I am sent a photo on iMessages, I select “download”, but it doesn’t start downloading and I can’t get any of my received photos to download. I recently purchased more iCloud storage so I know that is not the issue.

iPhone 11, iOS 14

Hello there User123-,



Thanks for posting here on the Apple Support Communities! This is a place where other Apple users can submit questions or respond to others to help lend a hand.


We understand you’re having some issues downloading pictures from Messages. Let's take a closer look as we do our best to provide some additional insight.

Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


If so, are there any changes after giving that a try? Also, since this would require having enough storage space on your iPhone, how much storage space is available on your iPhone?

We hope this helps get you pointed in the right direction.


Take care.
