imessage pictures not automatically downloading

I just received the apple watch series 2 and when i receive a text notification on a received image or video it always asks to "tap to download" ive seen other apple watches automatically downloading these files. Is there any way to have it automatically download?

Apple Watch Series 2, iOS 10.2

Hi


The following steps may help (check after each):


If you have not yet done so, update your iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch to the latest software, starting with your iPhone:


Check that both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are enabled on your iPhone.


Close the Messages app and restart your iPhone and watch:


On your iPhone, go to: Settings > Messages - turn off iMessage, pause for a few moments and then re-enable it.


Unpair and re-pair your watch:
