Unsent videos too long and I can’t delete

I tried to send videos but they were too long. I even made them shorter and then it said that I need to enable iMessage. iMessage is enabled. I have rebooted my phone with the messages app closed and it doesn’t work. Someone please help!

iPhone 14, iOS 16

Cannot delete video that is too large to send via text I added a video to a text, tried to send it and somehow managed to have the "edit video" disappear before I could edit it. Now it won't send the video (says I have to have iMessage enable to send this message). iMessage is enabled, but it won't send and there's no way to remove it from the text. The only way I can send a text is to send a picture with text below it. Then I'm left with my too long video in the thread. I have turned my phone off, but it didn't change anything. I have an iPhone 12 with the latest update.

Deleting iMessage conversation while not removing large attachments on iPhone i was running out of storage on my phone and my settings app told me that it was bc of a 20-something gb text conversation, so i deleted it. now it’s showing that deleting it not only did nothing but also means that i have to delete every ‘large attachment’ that was in that conversation individually. i don’t even know what to ask here, shouldn’t deleting the conversation have gotten rid of the photos and videos? if not then what the hell was the point of me deleting the conversation???
