How do I access all photos shared via iMessage on iPhone 17?

I turned off iMessages from iCloud, then turned it back on and now i can finally see all the photos ! It worked ◡̈

Try going to Settings > Search > Messages and turning both toggles off, then back on. That should trigger an update.

Hello,

On previous iPhone, I was able to review all photos sent to someone via text by tapping on their name and then below that "photos" and then "see all". I do not see that on my iphone17. Why would they have "links, documents, backgrounds, Info, locations", but drop the ability to see all photos? Help please

The Photos tab still exists, however, it won't appear until the phone's finished indexing. Depending on the amount of pictures you've sent, I've found that it should appear in 24-48 hours.

Have to go to iCloud and turn sync on

My experience is it should be between 24-72 hours depending on how many photos you have in Messages.

Please tag me if someone has a solution - I am having the same issue and I got my phone days ago.
