Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT

Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

Why can I know longer send a photo as part of a Message?, Why can I know longer send a photo as part of a Message?

I can no longer go to Camera Roll and send a photo as a Message. That option disappeared. I have to email or send to FB -- so what happened?

iPhone 4, iOS 6.1.3

Hello there, Rebook.


There's a great Knowledge Base article that gives some great pointers on troubleshooting Messages:


iOS: Troubleshooting Messages

Specifically:

If you still can't send or receive MMS messages

  1. To send and receive MMS messages on your iPhone, verify that your wireless carrier supports MMS2.
  2. Ensure that MMS Messaging is turned on in Settings > Messages.
  3. Verify that your phone is able to access cellular data.
    • Some carriers allow you to edit your APN (Access Point Name), which may prevent MMS from working.
    • If you are roaming outside your calling area, make sure you have Data Roaming turned on in Settings > General > Cellular to send or receive MMS content.
    • While on a phone call, you will be unable to send or receive MMS messages when using an EDGE, GPRS, or any CDMA cellular data network. After the phone call ends, you will receive any incoming messages. If you tried to send an MMS message, you may need to send it again.
  4. If the issue persists and your wireless carrier has confirmed that your wireless account is provisioned2 for MMS, restore the iPhone.
