Why do images sent to me via text change to a filename instead of image?
When I receive an image via text, it comes across fine initially. But when go I try to view it again later, the image is no longer displayed but rather a placeholder box with the filename, like IMG_232.heic. This is super frustrating if I need to find an image that was texted to me but I didn't save to photos. If I click on a person in the messaging app to view all the photos they've texted me, the ones that would show only the filename placeholder in the text thread aren't shown at all. So, I have to scroll through the thread and click on every placeholder (usually the image will display then, but it is slow and inconsistent) to find a specific image.
It's almost like there is a setting somewhere to "compress" or not fully download images in my text thread to save space, but my phone has tons of space, so I'd love to turn that off.
