Can't send photos to non-iPhone users

I can text with non-iPhone users from my iPhone but my pictures, videos do not go through with my new iPhone 14 pro. I can, however, send photos and videos to folks with iPhones.

iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 16

You need to call your carrier for the issue with MMS. For Whatsapp, you'll need to contact Meta as that's an entirely separate issue.

any updates on this 4/14/23 and still have the same problem. iPhone 14 pro max on T-Mobile 5g unlimited and any photo sent to an android user fails or is super slow…same exact photo sent to iPhone user with or without Wi-Fi on shoots right across instantly. Didn’t have this problem with my old iPhone 11 Pro on Verizon edit: contacted T-Mobile wasted 3 hours of my life they did all the resets and whatever…didn’t fix anything

Hey! I just came on here to tell you what I did to make this work for me. I also had the same problem, went through all the steps the website suggested… the ONLY thing that worked that I figured out on my own…. I turned Bluetooth off. Idk why or what it blocks for us to not send SMS pictures but it’s all I did and my phone started sending them no problem. I hope this helps.
