Can't save videos in iMessage

even when i press the save button beside the video, hold it and try and save it, or even send it to different apps to save it from there, it doesn't work. I restarted my phone and the iMessage apps, I have plenty of storage and even deleted some photos.

iPhone XR, iOS 15

Have you previously saved it to your iPhone? Oddly enough, I found that if you save media from Messages to your iPhone, then delete it, then try to save it again, it won't save properly.


As a workaround, try asking the other contact(s) in the message/message group to resend the video, if possible.
