I can't send photos and messages

If you mean:

• You cannot send a photo using the Messages application; and
• You are trying to send this photo to another cellular telephone using your cellular carrier's methods - then

You are attempting to send an MMS message using your cellular carrier. Doing this requires both of the following:

• Settings > Messages > MMS Messaging = "On"; and
• Your cellular carrier authorizes your account to use MMS messaging. This may cost extra.

Since updating to the new iOS 13.1.3 I cannot send any photos in messages. Among other issues!! I don’t like this new update!!! But from what I can find I also cannot downgrade to another version!!! MMS on etc nothing helps!!! And yes I can send MMS with my carrier!! I’m NOT a happy iPhone user right now!!! Apple you need to fix this issue ASAP !!!!

I have the exact same issue. Now, after upgrading to 13.1, none of my devices (iPhone, iPad and Mac) can send texts with photos. I can't reply to existing group messages. I also can't send a text with a picture to an Android user. Everything worked just fine before the upgrade. MMS is on, carrier (Verizon) says I can send MMS. Nothing changed except for the the iOS upgrade.

Apple, please help!

I have of course upgraded to 13.2.2. No change-still cannot reply to text conversations that include Android phones or send photos (via text) to Android phones. This includes my iPhone, my iPad and my MacBook Pro. It’s got to be a configuration setting somewhere, because until recently this all worked, and I didn’t change anything that I know of.

I have had the same problem since upgrade to 13.2.2 and the latest upgrade to 13.3. I think it’s disgusting that this has still not been fixed. What’s going on Apple. It’s about time we had an answer or at least an apology and some info on what’s being done about it. 😡

I cannot imagine why you pin the blame on Apple. (I am not, and never have been, an Apple employee.)

I sent a photo using iMessage just yesterday using iOS 13.3 and did not (and never did) have any issues.

Found it. It was due to swapping out my Sim card for a Google Fi card while we traveled in Europe. You have to change your APN settings for Google to work on an iPhone. I neglected to swap the settings back to their original (Verizon) settings when I put my Verizon card back in. Fortunately I still have the Google Fi sim, and I wrote down the original settings.

Once I put the Google Fi sim back in, changed the settings back (because those settings are ONLY exposed when you put the Google Fi card in, you don't see them with the Verizon sim card) and re-inserted the Verizon Sim card, all worked.

(Google Fi is good technology for when you travel, btw. One Sim card for pretty much the entire world and one reasonable price, especially compared to Verizon's horrible "use your home Verizon plan when you travel to Europe for an additional $10/day" model.)

Since the update I cannot send photos in messages..I tried going to settings and mms. It is already on like it should be. iPhone to iPhone doesn’t work either

Tried it all don’t work!!!!!! And yes I can send MMS with my carrier!!! Apple you need to fix this issue ASAP!!!

iOS 13.1 has not been current for quite a few weeks. It’s time to update to iOS 13.2.2.

Lucky you but it’s extremely frustrating for those of us that have this problem.

That’s a good piece of detective work and troubleshooting. Glad you found the issue.

I may have created this problem by turning something off or on, My iphone X I have had for a year will not send or receive photos with texts, the text will go out and come in ,but not the photo
