MMS texted to me not downloading

[Pantherz]

I just got my Samsung A52 and it works great, but refuses to download MMS (pictures, screenshots, etc.) that are texted to me. The little circle with the download symbol will appear but when I click it, it just endlessly says downloading and after an hour or so, it will go back to the little circle. This problem occurs in both messages between myself and 1 anther person and in groupchats I'm in. It is really annoying since I am in school and my classmates are usually sending pictures of their notes in the chat. If anyone has any solutions it would be greatly appreciated.

Is this an unlocked phone?

Have you tried going to Advanced Messaging???

[Pantherz]

I checked and advanced messaging is enabled on my device.

Hmm...that's weird 😕

Go to your settings, then go to apps...tap on the 3 dots and tap on Special access

I did this then reset my phone and it started working. Thank you so much!!
