@dpgroff There is no download function for your text messages. You can copy the text to google word and save for your future use.
I suppose it wouldn't be considered downloading because moving it from your phone and saving it wouldn't necessariliy be using an internet connection.
On Android devices, there is an SMS backup feature that saves messages to your Google account. If someone were to restore such as backup, that would certainly qualify as downloading them.
Text messages can certainly be copied, and not just by copying the text, but rather the entire messages. Many phones have software that allow you connect your phone to a computer and make complete back ups of your messages.
Depending on the device and the messaging software that you are using on your phone, SMS messages can also be copied and saved to your sim card.
However, I am suspecting that this question might not be about saving contents of text messages, but that the member probably has been notified of a MMS multmedia message (rather than a text message), and that the content (such as a picture) hasn't been downloaded because of device capability or because data is disabled.
