iMessage photos

Hello Gillianphelps,

Is the issue only with SMS/MMS messages? If so, you may need to contact your carrier. First, check otu the information below found in the article here: What is the difference between iMessage and SMS/MMS?

"If you aren’t using iMessage, you can use SMS/MMS. These messages are texts and photos that you send to other cell phones or another iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. SMS/MMS messages aren't encrypted and appear in green text bubbles on your device.

Cheers.
