Hello and welcome to Apple Support Communities, 1102m5948!


I understand you're asked to turn on MMS in Settings. I'd be happy to provide more information about MMS.


Have a look at the following article: About iMessage and SMS/MMS

"SMS/MMS

If you aren’t using iMessage, you can use SMS/MMS. These messages are texts and photos that you send to other cell phones or iOS devices. SMS/MMS messages aren't encrypted and appear in green text bubbles on your device."


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Enjoy your day!
