Unable to send MMS messages on iPhone 12 pro

This started not working for me today. Wife has an Android. Not sure if that matters. I've sent her pictures this way 100 times today. All software is up to date. 11 Pro Max user here. I even reset network settings. Nothing works. I'm trying to send from Messages on MacOS

MMS still not working....And with the update. How can you fix this

I think this is a iOS issue not an issue with the phone carrier. I cannot send MMS to android users while using AT&T and Google Fi ( I have 2 SIM cards). Same message comes out. It worked a few weeks ago with no problem until iOS updated to 14.2.1. I believe 14.3 is suppose to release 12/14 (tomorrow). If it still doesn’t work it’s time to email Mr Cook cause I can’t get any answers from anyone at Apple.

I cannot send MMS either on my 12 Pro Max. I'm running 14.2.1.

I get error, "message failed to send."

I reset network settings, restarted, toggled MMS off and on again. removed sim, restarted.

No luck.

Some people on reddit are still having the issue too.

Having same issue - could not send a picture to a group from the Photos app but could attach a photo while in the Messages app and it went through. All settings seem to be correct and went through update to 14.2.1

Having the same issue, it was working fine last week after the update and as of yesterday it have been giving me the same message as above. My settings are correct and I am able to attach via message app but not able to attach via the picture it’s self.... hope they fix this soon!

Me too. My settings are correct and my phone is up to date for software w/ 14.2.1.

It was working just a couple days ago. I had to airdrop it to my macbook and then send it from my macbook messenger. :-(

Has it ever worked? Have you checked with your carrier for a network problem or misconfigured account? And have you checked this crowd-sourced site for possible carrier issues ➡️ Down Detector - outages

I have a new 12Pro. Same problem. I went into Setting-to Messaging -to MMS. It showed that MMS was on. I literally slid it off and back on,and it is working! I was shocked that it was that easy for me. Verizon advised me to try this. In a similar case, they advised me to also restart my phone. I didnt need to for this, Good luck, its frustrating.

Go to Settings/Messages and turn on MMS. If you don’t see a switch for MMS contact your carrier and ask them to provision MMS on your account. If you do see a switch and it is already on, turn it off, wait a minute, then turn it back on.

And coolihigh is correct; update to 14.3 if you haven’t yet.

I had the same problem. I am on Verizon. I am using in iPhone 12 Pro Max. This worked for me. Go to Settings > General > Reset> Reset All Settings. Enter your password and wait a few minutes for it to reset. WARNING: You will have to set up your settings again like Face ID and Apple Wallet, etc. But at least, MMS messages are working again.

I have the same problem.

I cannot send message in groups, and am unable to enable the mms, as it is not having an option to do so. What are the possible ways for solution.

I have already restarted my device, and is updated with latest iOS

An iPad cannot send MMS messages. It is a limitation of the cellular networks. If you have an iPhone you can send SMS/MMS from an iPad (or a Mac) through the iPhone. You can also subscribe to Google Voice and send MMS through it. But a standalone tablet (from any manufacturer) cannot send SMS/MMS messages.

Kylie, I’m not sure if you ended up finding a remedy for problem yet, I found your post after experiencing the same issue...

MMS enabled, both in settings and via carrier. In Australia, our latest carrier format for mobile (cellular) data is 5G, which apparently optimises iPhone 12 and other new brands of smart phone using mobile data. But... possibly similarly in US, MMS and other forms of encrypted data can be blocked, both on wifi and mobile data.

This can be adjusted by changing SIM, either physical SIM or eSIM. Then I guarantee you will be able to send pictures, videos, group pictures, etc. Essentially you need to “dumb down” your iPhone 12’s abilities, using the predecessor of your current SIM. Your last phone did not have capabilities of this one, so it would not have blocked anything. This will not adversely affect your phone. Frankly, many of the so-called awesome features are a pain in the butt, Face ID sucks, I now only use PIN, and this new security feature is a massive irritation. So downgrade the SIM.

my last phone was iPhone X. No problems ever.... if it ain’t broke, why fix it?

Same here too😠

even after turning the toggle on and off.

WTF?!?! I was expecting this amazing new cutting edge equipment and I have had to be on the phone with them every weekend!

who has time for that?!?!🤯🤯🤯🤯😡
