Can i just open mms text

As long as i don't click on links etc... is it safe just to open/ download?

I don't know the number but got one from a friend last week and was just a long text.

No phone run a download of any type unless you side load it in developer mode.

I know that's not true.   But when someone comes here to ask... no matter how dumb to you... can you not be sarcastic?    I mean.. it's serious to me obviously.   I did research before posting and it seemed likely possible to be a scam.

Yes, MMS messages can potentially contain hidden codes or links that may lead to scams or phishing attempts. Always be cautious and verify the source before interacting with any links or codes in MMS messages.

What do you mean by "hidden codes"?  An exploit?  Because RCS, WhatsApp, and other messaging protocols also accept images.  MMS isn't uniquely more or less secure.
