Although photos from Messenger conversations can be saved automatically to our device, the feature must be manually set up. Photos can take up a lot of storage space, so Messenger’s default setting lets you choose the images you would like stored. However, if storage is not an issue for you, you can ask Messenger to store all incoming photos to your device automatically. To do this on an Android device: 1. Open Messenger, go to “Settings,” then “Data &Storage.” 2. Check the “Save Photos” box. Incoming photos will now automatically be saved to your gallery. To do this on an iPhone: 1. Open Messenger and tap on the “Settings” icon. 2. Scroll down and tap “Save photos to camera roll.” 3. Toggle to the “ON” position. Photos from your Messenger conversations will now automatically be saved to your iPhone gallery.
