Fix Samsung Galaxy Fold6 and Flip6 Messages app file download issues caused by Auto Blocker restrictions, auto-download settings, or manual download problems.

If you're unable to download files received through the Messages app on your Samsung Galaxy Fold6 or Flip6, the issue might be due to the 'Maximum restrictions' feature in Auto Blocker disabling the 'Auto download' option. This security feature prevents automatic downloads of potentially harmful attachments. Follow these steps to resolve the issue.
