I can’t send messages with photos to any contacts

If you're unable to send photos or videos after an update, here are a few things you can try to fix the issue:

Check Your Internet Connection:

• • Ensure you have a stable Wi-Fi or cellular data connection. Photos and videos require a good connection to be sent via messaging apps.

Restart Your Device:

• • Sometimes a simple restart can resolve issues caused by updates or temporary glitches.

Check Messaging Settings:

• • Go to Settings > Messages and make sure MMS Messaging is turned on. MMS is required to send photos and videos.

Check Your Storage:

• • Make sure you have enough storage space on your iPhone. Go to Settings > General > iPhone Storage to see how much space is available. If your storage is full, try freeing up some space.

Reset Network Settings:

• • If the problem persists, try resetting your network settings. Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. This will reset Wi-Fi networks and passwords, cellular settings, and VPN/APN settings.

Update Carrier Settings:

• • Sometimes, your carrier’s settings need an update. Go to Settings > General > About. If an update is available, you'll see a prompt to update your carrier settings.

Check the App Permissions:

• • If you’re using a third-party messaging app (like WhatsApp, Messenger, etc.), make sure the app has permission to access your photos and videos. Go to Settings > Privacy > Photos, and ensure the app has access.

Test With Other Contacts:

• • Try sending photos or videos to different contacts to see if the problem is specific to one contact or all contacts.

Reinstall the Messaging App:

• • If you're using a third-party messaging app, try deleting and reinstalling it.

Contact Your Carrier:

• • If none of the above works, there may be a problem with your carrier’s MMS settings. Contact your carrier for assistance.
