I’m assuming you mean in texts, which are sent using SMS and MMS. First go to Settings/Messages and make sure MMS is turned on (SMS is always on, there is no switch except to enable SMS to iPhones, bypassing iMessage when iMessage delivery fails). If you don’t see a switch for MMS your carrier has not provisioned it on your account. Contact them. If the switch is present and turned on:


  • SMS requires an active cellular voice network service, and MMS requires that cellular data be turned on. Neither will work over Wi-Fi alone. 
  • VPN can block MMS connections, so if you have VPN installed try deleting the VPN profile and app (don’t just turn it off)


If you have checked that MMS is on, cellular data is on, and you do not have VPN (or have removed it), that means SMS/MMS hasn’t been provisioned properly and you need to contact your cellular network provider.
