Cannot send photos from camera roll using Messenger app

This problem has started fairly recently. I used to be able to select a photo or two or more—click on the Messenger app, type a message, and send it to multiple people. I can do all all of those steps but the screen goes right back to the screen that asks me what I want to do with the selected photos. I go back to Messenger App and the messages and photos never send.

My phone is iPhone 14 pro max. yes, the operating system is the most recent, all of the apps are updated.

is there anyone else with this same problem?

TIA

iPhone 14 Pro Max

I can’t send photos when I’m messaging somebody directly. I also cannot upload photos to Facebook.

and before anybody says it, yes, everything is up-to-date! I do it every single time immediately. It’s this last update that screwed it up! It needs to be fixed. End of story. It’s not us.
