Can't save pics to VZ media from text messages

Was able to save pics to VZ media before update to my S23, but now I can't.  Keeps saying, "Please enable these permissions from the Settings screen."  I have enabled permissions, but still won't work.

Same problem here.  It says to enable permissions, but there are no more permissions to enable. Very frustrating.

We want to make sure we are able to help out with any issues you might be having. To clarify, are you trying to save pictures sent from text messages to your VZ Cloud?

I  am having the same problem.  I used to be able to click on a photo in a text and it would save it to the VZ Media album in my Gallery.  Now it tells me to enable permissions which I have.  I DO NOT want to be forced to go to my computer to download these!!!  I should be able to save to my phone from my phone without any other intervention.

C85742 we understand how important it is to be able to save media that is sent to you through messages. After enabling permissions, what if any options does the device give when selecting an image?
