Can’t send photos from iPhone to Android

I can’t believe this is still happening.

People have been complaining about it for years.

Same issue here. And I have a different carrier so the problem is obviously Apple.

The biggest issue with changing to jpg is that it’ll take up more memory in your phone. iOS uses a specific for

mat to save memory. Hope that helps.

I see that, but still the issue persists. Sending pictures to android users when I have no service just fail every time.

This is an incorrect statement. Some providers do in fact support mms via wifi calling. The iPhone however has an issue where it automatically defaults to sending mms messages via cellular data even if you are connected and using WiFi calling.

Turning off the cellular data in settings will remove that choice from the iPhone and it will then send it via WiFi as long as your carrier supports it. T Mobile is one that supports it.

I’ve been having this issue for several months and have done like most others; tried everything. Reset network settings, talked to the carrier (Mint Mobile) and apple support. Nothing worked. Kept getting an error message that said “you must enable MMS to send photos” or something along those lines, even though MMS has not been switched off at all. This morning, I requested a new e-sim from my carrier and that resolved my issue! I hope that helps someone else!

I have an iphone 15 plus and had the same issue. I turned off cellular data which used the wifi to deliver the pictures and screenshots to the android phone. Even tested it out with a couple android phones and it sent!

You can’t send MMS messages over Wi-Fi. CAN’T. It won’t work.

And iOS messaging automatically converts HEIF to JPG when sending via MMS. And even if it didn’t that wouldn’t prevent sending, it would just require the recipient to have a device that supports the HEIF standard that has been around since 2017, but the message would still be sent. What might prevent sending is if the photo is too large to send via MMS. Then taking a screenshot (which is automatically low resolution, small size) would work but would actually be masking the problem.

This worked for me. Turning off my cellular completely forcing it to use WiFi. Sent the message right away. Thank you!

Just turned on airplane mode and sent photos via WiFi only. IT WORKED!!

After a long time not being able to send android users photos, it finally worked.

Hope this helps someone too! 🎉

This is what worked for me:
