Unable to SEARCH gifs (#images) in iMessages

i have an iPhone 7 and noticed, after pushing iOS 13.4, that when I search for a specific image (as simple as “cats”), that I get ‘No results found for “cats”.’ I’ve tried numerous searches. They appear as an option but when selecting any, get same message back. I’ve followed everyone’s suggestions except resetting some things, which I dread doing. Oddly, my iPad has no cellular data and it’s still working just fine, with WiFi. Some mentioned having a hashtagimages in their Cellular DatA list but I do not have that, not even on my new iPad. Any suggestions?
