Exporting pictures in iMessage to Photos

Hello.

I know how to export one picture at the time from iMessages to Photos. What I find more challenging (to be true, I don't know how to do it) is how to export a group of pictures from iMessages to Photos in one operation.

Is there a way to do this?

Launch Messages. Find the contact that has photos included in texts that you want to save. Tap the "I" (the info icon) at the top right of the screen next to the contact name. A window at the bottom of the screen will appear with all photos associated with that contact. Tap and hold down on one photo and select More. After you select More, you can tap on every other photo in that window in order to select them. Tap Save Images at the bottom of the screen. The images will be saved to the camera roll.
