I'm sorry. But there is no setting on the iPhone regarding SMS/MMS, other than the one I told you about. That is all controlled by cellular data and the carrier. Have them make sure that you have the correct carrier file as well as reset your SMS/MMS profile on your account. Is this happening to anyone with an Android that you are sending to, or just one person? Have they checked to ensure their device is working properly?

Check Settings>Messages, make sure that MMS is turned on. Check Settings>Cellular, make sure that cellular data is turned on. If that does not help, then contact your carrier. MMS is a carrier feature, it requires cellular data and an SMS/MMS plan on your account. Except for the settings I described, there are no other settings for SMS/MMS on the iPhone.

I am trying to send a photo from my photo library through text messaging. It appears that it is going through and then it freezes just at the end before the transmission. I never have this problem when sending the attachment to another iPhone user. I never had the problem with previous iPhones. This started as soon as I got an iPhone 8.
