Receiving Files and Photos
If a buddy sends you a photo, it will appear in your chat just like any other message. You can tap the image to view a larger version of it and tap the 
icon in the lower left corner to save a copy of it in to your Saved Photos album.
If a buddy sends you a file that is not a recognized file format, you will see a message in the chat informing you that you have received a file, along with a link that allows you to open it. Tap the link to open the file.
Note:The iPhone can display any file supported by Apple as an email attachment. Only open files that you receive from a source that you trust.
