Hi there Calliope999,
We'd like to learn more to see how we can help. Is this blue arrow appearing in the built-in Messages app on your iPhone or a different, third-party messaging app? Is the arrow next to a photo, video, or some sort of media that someone sent to you? If so, the arrow indicates you can download that content to save it on your iPhone.
To save a photo, tap thenext to the photo or collection of photos.

Thanks!
