For the group at large to benefit from this helpful related information... 

I use the Luke & Jake Klinker open source PulseSMS messaging app, version
5.4.6.2816 (prior to purchase by Maple Media) which I had determined long
ago was the best free adfree messenger on Android (prior to RCS of course).
  <https://home.pulsesms.app/overview/>
 
MMS media is automatically saved to this location when connected to the PC:
 My PC\Galaxy A32 5G\Internal storage\Pictures\Pulse\.
And to this location when looking for them on the Android phone itself:
 /storage/emulated/0/Pictures/Pulse/.

With PulseSMS messenger, there's an MMS set of options which include
 <https://i.postimg.cc/1tjcm7KJ/pulsesms03.jpg> 5.4.6.2816 lastknowngood v
 <https://i.postimg.cc/nL8052Vj/pulsesms04.jpg> PulseSMS Max Image Size
 <https://i.postimg.cc/ZR4jYqdJ/pulsesms05.jpg> PulseSMS last good version

 Auto-save Media = on/off
  Automatically save any MMS media when it is received.

 Use Group MMS = on/off
  When disabled, group messages will be sent 
  out as individual SMS, to each of the recipients.

 Max Image Size
  Do not set this higher than what your carrier allows.

 Convert to MMS
  Long messages will be sent as MMS instead of individual SMS.

 Delivery Reports
  Most carriers do not support this option. It is not RCS.

 User Agent = Android-Mms/2.0
 User Agent Profile Tag Name = x-wap-profile
 etc.

I suspect each messenger app automatically stores its MMS media in their
own separate folder; so micky's answer is dependent on the messenger app.
