I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had someone try to show me a picture that had been texted to them, only to watch as they scrolled and scrolled through the conversation on their iPhone to find it. There is a way to make this so much easier, and it’ll allow you save the pics you want to keep more quickly, too! To check it out for yourself, open Messages on your iPhone or iPad, select any of your conversations, and tap “Details” near the upper-right.
Scroll down a bit on the subsequent screen, and you’ll see the “Attachments” section near the bottom. This contains all of the
recent images and files that’ve been sent in that conversation. Neat!
Tap a picture to view it in a larger size, and then you can swipe through to see the remaining images in that conversation. If you find one you want to save, touch your screen to bring up the available controls and tap the “Share” arrow.
When the share sheet pops up, you can pick your poison—send the image on to someone else, copy it, or save it.
This is not exclusive to photos. Any files (PDFs, audio files, documents, etc...) shared in the thread will also be displayed in "Details".
