MMS to Android users is controlled by your cellular carrier. You need to contact them to resolve your issue.

I have droid friends and we use Whatsapp (which works fine on ios26)

MMS costs a lot of money where I live so I never use messages for images to droid users

I have two identical phones on 26.1, one has MMS, one does not. They are different cell providers.
