how do I transfer pictures from messages on my iPhone to my photo library

Hi Judy,

There are a number of people interested in knowing how to transfer photos and videos en masse from Messages into Photos. I have a lot of memory being used (unnecessarily) by videos and photos that I want to manage, but it's too cumbersome to wade through old message threads to find them... it makes much more sense to have them transfer (en masse) from Messages to Photos where I can easily manage them from there. I could also really use the hard drive space.

Thanks,

Kelly
