Time sensitive message failed to send

Since the last update I have been getting the notification, ‘time sensitive message failed to send’. This has become problematic for me as I am unable to respond to work requests to cover extra shifts (I work in an Emergency Department so there is need to be able to respond quickly). I have followed recommendations/suggestions others have proffered on this thread but nothing has changed. I receive text messages but it seems most I send fail. I need a fix for this as it is impacting on my work.

Let me see if I understand you correctly. If you attempt to share a contact with someone, and I'm guessing here, if the contact you have contains a profile picture, you cannot share it, but if it does not, you can? Am I correct? I've never seen this contact before. How are you managing the contacts on your device? Are these profile photos ones that you inserted in the contact?
