Recently I receive MMS messages twice in a row and they show an arrow to download not the message but they won't download I get a pop up that there is an error downloading them. My data is turned on I have made no changes. I have a one plus 7 t. 

 

Thank you.

Good to know you managed to resolve your issue! Thank you for your feedback.

When using a bot how can you be sure you talked to live person? Or you just followed advises from bot?

I'm getting the exact same issue, where certain contacts' MMS messages just hang on downloading, while other contacts are working normally. Anybody ever get an answer on this one?

I've tried all the usual fixes, nothing seems to work yet. Handset is Sony XZ2

HI @ErinCampbell   Can you try to uninstall Signal without reinstall it?  Try it that way just in case Signal screw up things

 

Also, try to ask more than 1 friend to send you a small pictures in mms., just in case the file size issue

It's all MMS messages from multiple people and it previously worked from those individuals.
