Modify or create a pinned contact in the share sheet How can I pin myself as an iMessage and Apple Mail contact in the share sheet. As an example, if viewing photos in Camera, I select a photo, then, chose the share button. I would like myself to show up as one of the iMessage contacts and as an Apple Mail contact. I send stuff to myself often and would like to avoid having to type my phone or email in the To: field. Perhaps this can be done with a shortcut and not have to rely on Intelligent Suggestions? I am on iOS v16.2

No option for "Show Contact Photos" in iMessages. Under settings, in the message settings, I have no option for "SHOW CONTACT PHOTOS, (Show photos of your contacts in messages). This allows the little circle next to the contact name in the iMessage list. I have two iPhones using the same Apple ID. One phone has the option available and shows the circle with the photo or initials if no photo is set to the contact. The other phone doesn't have the option and obviously is not showing the circles with photos. Both are running iOS version 17.4.1. I can't find anything anywhere on how to resolve this.

You need to have an SMS/MMS plan enabled by your carrier for the SIM/eSIM that you use on your device. Apple Inc. does not provide SMS/MMS services.
