Photos won't send on iMessages

So I've been having this problem where all my texts send fine, but when I send photos they all say message failed to send. Plus when other people send me images they come as a file I have to download, not like an actual photo. I've gone to my setting and looked around and everything looks normal to me. I haven't changed any of my setting and I have the newest update for iPhone already.

iPhone 12, iOS 16

Hey Eunoi,


You've done some great troubleshooting steps for this issue. We'd like to help with next steps:


-Does this happen on when connected to Wi-Fi, cellular data or both?

-Is your iPhone storage almost full? To check, go to Settings > General > iPhone Storage.

-Does the same behavior occur after a restart? Restart your iPhone - Apple Support


Let us know! Take care.
