Go to your Messages app and look for the three dots at the top. When you touch on those, select Settings. You should then see an option for MMS. Make sure the option to allow downloads is on. You can also try clearing the cache of the Messages app. https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00077611/

Thank you for helping me. This is my first smart phone and I was not happy to getting one for years because every time someone handing me one I had to hand them back because I touched a button.  So now I have one I will get better at useing one. I hope

I don't have an option for MMS, once in settings.  

When I click More Setting, I do have an option for Multimedia messages and 3 other options to turn on or off

 - Group Conversation (off)

 - Auto Retrieve (on)

 - Roaming auto retrieve (off)

 

Where do I go from here?

For some reason my Data was turned off.  I never turn data off so not sure why that happened.  Just another suggestion.

Settings 

Connections

Data Usage

Mobile Data (on)

Same thing happened to me just today. Out of the blue too! This fixed the problem. I thought I had a virus. Thanks 👍

I have N9, and followed the instructions above, but it did not solve the problem. A few times a day I get that "failed to download....", even again as I typed this message.

Kindly advise another solution.

I had this error on Galaxy S9. My solution was to turn mobile data on. For some reason it was disabled.

Thank you, I was having this issue on my S9 where the message kept showing up for the past couple of days. I wouldn't have even accidentally turned on my data because of quarantine... Who knows how long I would've had the problem! Thank you again!
