I’m having the same issue too. On Monday, everything was working fine; I was able to send a photo to my mom and my dad, both of whom have iPhones. (i have the 12 Pro Max, they have the 14.) My mom tried to send me a picture this afternoon (it’s Thursday here), but it was one of those weird placeholders. When I send a picture to them, the message is blank. I haven’t changed any settings in my phone since then, and as far as I’m aware, my parents haven’t changed theirs either.


Also, if I tap the download icon on the placeholder, nothing happens.
