Hi I have the new iPhone and have noticed when I go into messages I am unable to click on to see any photos or links I’ve sent the person previously. The only way I can find something is by scrolling through all the messages to find it. This is very frustrating when in trying to look for a photo I sent the person a few months ago. My iPhone is updated with iOS 26. Can you please advise when this will be fixed?

If you tap on the recipients name in the top of your conversation, you should be able to select the Photos or Links menu to view all previous ones you have sent with them.
But if this is a new iPhone its very likely its still indexing which means sorting all your data for search in which you may not immediately be able to do so. But give it some time and little by little more results should appear.

This would be a new feature request https://apple.com/feedback
