When transferring text messages from Apple to Android, some messages may not appear due to compatibility issues between the two systems. To resolve this, ensure you use a reliable transfer app like 'iSMS2droid' that you can download through Google play.

: If "iMessage" is still enabled on your iPhone, it can cause issues. Ensure that "iMessage" is turned off before transferring
To turn off "iMessage," go to settings on your apple phone > messages > toggle off "iMessage".
You could then proceed with transferring them again using "iSMS2droid" app.

Did you ensure iMessage is toggled off on the iPhone? Otherwise, it should be transferring over everything without issue. ISMS2droid is a very reliable method to transfer from the iPhone. If it's still not, then I don't what to say. I would do a Google search cause sometimes there may be other factors that may be causing the attachments not to transfer over properly.

The app "Switch to Android" may be what you need to transfer attachments data. You can download the app from Google Play. When setting up an android from an iPhone, you could use USB cable. This method should transfer everything flawlessly.

No, It shouldn't be. Since everything has been unsuccessful, just
Send the attachments from the iPhone to Android using an email.

I'm not familiar with iPhone, but look for the "share" option > then email option to send your attachments to yourself (your email), then from email save them to the samsung gallery. I've had to do that myself over the years cause attachments are funky sometimes when transferring, and they don't always come through,like with what you are experiencing.
