"Cannot send message: MMS messaging needs to be enabled to send this message." is the message I see on my phone when I try to send a picture via Text message. How do I "enable" MMS messaging on my iPhone SE (received as a gift Sept. 2020). The IOS version on the phone now is:14.7.1
Also, I cannot received photos in text any more either.

I think this explains the issue.
I believe Google Fi is not a cellular carrier. Note they’re not listed here.
Wireless carrier support and features for iPhone in the United States and Canada - Apple Support
Note the following from the Google Fi website.

Thank you SBERMAN.
Unfortunately my "Settings/Messages" section on my phone does not have a "MMS Messaging" on/off choice.
The only choice is "Send as SMS" on/off
Then below that in grey it says: "Send as SMS when iMessage is unavailable. Carrier messaging rates may apply.
And below that, in grey, it says:
SMS/MMS
PERIOD
Thanks again for your follow-up.
Your screenshot looks like some of the videos and other websites that I checked before coming here, so it seems that something is funky with my phone or my cell carrier. I have checked the "Send as SMS" to be "ON" but that did not help.
My carrier is Google Fi, which is obviously biased toward Android, and I read about some issues before I signed up.
But since my wife is Android centric, and my previous plan sucked, I went with hers.
Thanks again. I will contact them.
You must do both the following for MMS:
OK, I’m surprised. I have not heard of that setup quirk before.
If you don’t have “Send as SMS” on, I suggest turning it on. Otherwise, ask your cellular carrier about this.
Excellent!
Looks like I need to get Google Fi to help me update, since I have a new version of IOS since they originally did on the initial installation.
Thank you very much!!!!!
Glad that helped.
Enjoy your iPhone, and welcome to Apple’s ecosystem.
