Is it normal to save pictures on your phone?

Everytime someone sends me pics on the phone from twitter or text I save it in my phone. I dont really do anything with these pictures but I have them in an album on my phone. I was doing this with almost all photos sent to me but I started erasing some of them to make space in my phone for other apps, and the nudes my GFs use to send me. Weirdly I have dated a few people who wanted to send nudes. I didnt ask but they always like "Want to see me naked".

I always say "I don't care, but if it makes you happy, go ahead". Needless to say I didn't want people to ever look through my phone and see nudes of people I dated in the past/currently dating so I erased them. I had one friend and it was weird since we were very close so I didnt know why they were so concerned by it. One day I messaged them saying "Saved" and they said "Whats that mean"? I told them "Oh, I saved the picture". They said "But why"? I said "So I can have your picture in my phone" and they just told me to erase it and that was creepy. I not sure why. Why would you send people pics you didnt want them to have?

When I say photos this does sometimes include other pictures that are not people. Like lets say "Kelly" sends me a picture of her new shoes. Ill save those shoes in my phone. If someone happened to look through these photos and say "Why do you have a picture of shoes you don't own" I would tell them "Kelly sent me a picture of her shoes last Wednesday, she said they are new and she bought them from JCPENNYS.

My phone puts a date on when the pictures were taken and the source and automatically make a new album. I guess I have a habit of cataloging things.

    It's not particularly normal, but I don't see anything wrong with it. If they're taking up too much space on your phone, you could try moving old ones to your computer or to google drive or something.

    Maybe I'm biased against shoes, but that last example is weird.

    Depends on what the photo is.

    If it's incriminating and you're considering going to the police about it, I understand.

    I also get hanging onto some little trivial photos as memories of your conversations with people, especially if the photo made you laugh. I do that all the time.

    If it was nudes or something really personal, that's a bit more risky, more out of concern that the phone might be lost with those photos on there.

      I know but they were of my partners. Like my GF would say "Hey want some nudes" and I like "Wont do nothing for me, and I love you anyways but sure". I dont date people because I think they are pretty. My partners dont care if I save the pictures of them. They want me to remember them. They use to ask me "But Im pretty right". I said "Yes" but seriously didn't care if they were nude or not. I feel like sometimes I might just be a bad partner.

    It's odd. Unless it was a special event, I don't see the point of saving it.

      Well, is it odd if you have none of that person and they send you one so you save it to have a picture of them? Since I had one person who kept sending me pictures of themselves and I saved some and they like "Ew why"? I not sure why they would send them if they didnt want them on my phone. I told them I save most of my pictures but that didnt seem to win the case with them.
