Hey there vachinna,


To make sure iMessage is enabled, go to Settings > Messages first. If it is enabled and you're still unable to send photos, use the steps here:


If you’re trying to send group MMS messages on an iPhone, go to Settings > Messages and turn on MMS Messaging. If you don't see an option to turn on MMS Messaging or Group Messaging on your iPhone, then your carrier might not support this feature.


Continue with the troubleshooting steps for this issue if you still cannot send photos on your iPhone:


If you can't send or receive messages on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


Take care!
