iMessage sending issues on iOS 17

Ever since I updated my iPhone 13 Pro to iOS 17, I have had issues with iMessage.

Every morning I need to restart my iPhone before I can send an iMessage, if I don't do that the message is stuck and it won't send a text message automatically after some time if iMessage is unavailable. If i send my message as a text message manually, the person receives 2 identical messages (one iMessage and one text message). I have no problem receiving iMessages even before restarting my iPhone.

Is this a known issue? I'm currently on iOS 17.0.1, but I've had this problem since iOS 17.0.

iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 17

after updating 17.1.2 on my iPhone 13pro, I can no longer receive images in text, only words. What is wrong, I did all the restarts, turned iMessage on and off, turned Airport on and off, and restarted but I had the same problem, I can no longer receive images or photos in a text.

I am seriously disappointed with IMessage in phone and iPad! It just won't send messages while other messages work. And please don't try suggest weak internet or wrong number etc. is there in build mode rejecting longer messages or messages containing photos? Not good.

I got this update about 3 days ago. My boyfriend noticed that my FaceTime had said my email and asked why another thing that happened was it turned my service off and I didn’t have service for 6+ hours. My phone does not allow me to send texts as iMessages it will not let me receive calls from apple and Samsung users. My phone number in my Apple ID says it is not compatible and says my number is unavailable and will not work.
