Photos not showing up in iMessage after sending

I attach pictures saved to my phone in text messages to friends. They can see them and respond to them. However shortly afterwards, I go back to messages and only see question marks where the picture I sent was. Other text recipients I see fine. See attached. I am updated to 16.1.1 and am on an iPhone 14 Pro Max.

Hello HowieG1954,

Is your device near capacity? We ask because it might be making space as part of Optimize Storage: How to check the storage on your iPhone and iPad - Apple Support

"In the Storage section of Settings, your device might offer recommendations for optimizing your storage. To optimize your storage:

Tap Show All to see all the recommendations for your device.
Read the description of each recommendation, then tap Enable to turn it on or tap the recommendation to review the contents you can delete."

What is your used and available storage? Is that Optimize storage for photos and videos enabled? Thanks.
