Why when I get a picture through a text does it say it's a broken picture

My girlfriend sends me pictures through text. When I go to look at them it says the "picture is broken". It doesn't do this all the time! I was just wondering what can I do to be able to view the pictures so they are not "broken"
and I can download them on
my phone?
