Saving photos I receive in a text message to my gallery is an impossible task. The save function is inflexible as it doesn't permit the user to first determine the locatuon to which I want the saved copy to go. Worse, the share function doesn't permit sharing to my gallery either. Can only upload copy to Google photos. Downloading a photo embedded within a message is just as problematic and inflexible. Why can't it be a simple affair to save a photo in a text message to my photo app or gallery?
