iPhone not sending or receiving pictures

yes, I'm over it too. I've done everything suggested, including turning on and off (which works temporarily) and then photos etc just won't work again. Apple needs to get their act together here. My next phone won't be an Iphone.

Nothing I do is helping :( this is soooooo annoying. Reliable text massaging is SO MUCH MORE IMPORTANT THAN A GOOD SELFIE CAMERA. Yet, here we are, I have a great selfie camera but can’t send text messages with my phone. I tried restarting, updating, shutting off iMessage, turning iMessage back on, clearing all storage, turning MMS on and off, restarting all apps… NOTHING. It’s so frustrating, Apple. I missed several messages in a group text message as well, which makes me just want to chuck my iPhone into a lake. First and foremost I need my phone to be a… working phone. You know?

I have NO idea what to do.

This happens to me too ALL the time. Im out and about and i try to send a picture to some body, and they tell me they didn't get it until i got to wifi. The same happens to me the other way, someone try's to send me a voice message or something and it wont let me download it or listen to it

Ever since upgrading to OS 17.1.2 on my iPhone 13 I can no longer send and receive photos via text MMS, and I have tons of storage space. I am grateful for any ideas to fix this.

Mine and my husband’s iPhones are too ever since last couple of updates. My phone is a iPhone 14 Plus and iPhone XR and I have a MacBook Pro 14” and a MacBook Pro 13”. None of them are getting pictures or videos and some we’ve sent aren’t going out. Seems like most frequently between different phones and providers.

phone going up and down frequently in rapid succession as well. Doesn’t happen with our tv network which is through same provider as our Apple products.

apple needs to test updates before implementing them. This is obnoxious that I can’t send stickers or use my old functions like sending photos or the apple anvatars after the last update. You need to fix this and do it soon. Also why did you move the bar. I was happy where it was. Just leave our features alone. You have enough money to do more market research before changing things. Do it .

I just sent in the information about my phone I see a lot of people are having the same problem, I have to send my pictures to my granddaughter IPhone 13 so she can send my pictures of my family members. my mms and sms turn off help me this is ridiculous. That’s why a lot of people know have androids is it Apple is the worst or certain things

if Apple wanted you to send pictures over your iPhone using Messages, they could have easily set this option as default. However, Apple has failed to do this. Perhaps there is some financial gain to be had by Apple by doing this. Perhaps it!s been done as a cruel joke by bored developers. I guess we'll never know. "Apple makes it easy".

All of a sudden pictures being sent from my iPhone14 Pro aren't sending correctly through text to my wife, who has iPhone15. Discovered the problem after my wife tried to send me pictures while out. All settings are enabled properly. I just did the download last week to iOS17.5.1 Hope Apple gets their sh-t together and fixes this. I called my carrier and it's not them.

After recent update my iphone 14 to ios 18.0 is so slow and will not send photos to another iphone via imessage even under wifi with adequate storage and speeds of over 400!! Do better apple! Ive done everything it says to do and nope! It sends one photo then if I try another I have to turn off phone etc 🥵😡🤯

That worked for me too!

My phone is also doing this I’ve tried everything and it won’t work.

keep us posted!

I’m having this issue also, ios 16.5, so frustrating as I’ve tried everything even restarting the phone several times. It’s on all platforms and not just one

I have the 14 plus and I’m having the same issues since the update. I’ve tried everything and nothing has worked.
