Not able to select contact if I want to send them a picture

I’m not able to select a contact I’ve been texting with if I want to send them a picture from fotos. I do get the option to text the picture but before I could chose from people I had been texting with which makes it easier when texting groups or finding someone faster

From this article, Share photos and videos on iPhone - Apple Support,


Sharing Suggestions recommends a set of photos from an event that you may want to share and, based on the people in the photos, who you may want to share them with. After you share your photos, the recipients are prompted to share their photos from the event with you. iCloud Photos must be turned on to see Sharing Suggestions, but the photos you share can be viewed by anyone.
Tap For You, then tap a photo collection in Sharing Suggestions.
Tap Select to add or remove photos, then tap Next.
Photos suggests sharing the photos you took with the people who were also at the event. You can choose who to share with, as well as add others.
Tap Share in Messages.
To send the link to more friends, or to stop sharing it: Tap the collection, tap , then choose Copy iCloud Link or Stop Sharing.
To remove a photo collection from Sharing Suggestions: Tap , then tap Remove Sharing Suggestion.


Do you have iCloud Photos on?

Yes, I do. I used to be able to select a picture and press the arrow key to either text, email, or whatever else and now I don't have the option of selecting people I had been recently texting with. It's odd that that banner doesn't appear anymore. Now I have to type the name of the person I want to text in order to send the pic. It sucks when its a group because I have to enter each name.
