Hi suzie114,


Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities. We understand you're having trouble downloading photo and video attachments in Messages. First, we recommend making sure you have a strong Wi-Fi or cellular connection. Next, try restarting your iPhone as it can refresh iOS, apps and connections. You may also want to check to make sure you have plenty of storage space available on your iPhone to allow for downloads. Here's how to check if needed: How to check the storage on your iPhone and iPad.


Take care.
