camera and photo icons grayed on text on iphone 12

My iphone 12 does not allow me to take photo from message app. The camera and photos icons are grayed. I have the SMS on, it has always been on. I have closed and open the phone various times to see if that worked. Nope

Any suggestions?

First enter a phone number in the "To:" Field.

Photos can be shared only between iPhone users using iMessage

You may need to use MMS for sending Photos to Android devices


You need MMS enabled by your carrier. and in your Settings. See the Pic below
