My photos in messages have a caution sign

Whenever I click on them it tells me to seek professional help. Why? The only thing I can do with them is delete them! I just want to send my friends photos of my cats! :(

Photos not showing in messages. (SMS) Good day folks! Does anyone know why my sent and received photos in Messages does this and how to correct it: Just FYI: This happens to other people I know. (More than one user) The photos are fine when first sent; I believe this happens later on, but I’m not sure, and I don’t know why. You cannot do anything with the photos as they are now. They can only be deleted. Any feedback appreciated!

Trying to delete photos in messages I select person and info, select the photos and then try to delete photos but after I re-open the message they won’t delete. This is on several messages. I then tried deleting from the message in settings but they are still there.

iPhone/iCloud problem A friend tried to send 30 (!) photos to several people (me included), now we all have a "circle of death" kind of thing going on, and it won't go away. There's a notation on the bottom of the square within which is the circle, that says "Sent via iCloud." How can we all get rid of this? Appreciate any help. Thanks.
