photo album won't send photo messages after iOS7 update...is there a fix?

I updated to iOS7 and am now unable to send photo messages (via text/sms) from the photo album. It opens and lets me choose a photo to send but after I chose to send via message and select a recipient, the phone freezes for a bit, then appears to send the message while actually doing nothing. I can appartently still select photos to send from within the message app and I can still email images from photo album, but the message feature in the photo album does not work at all. Has anyone else encountered this issue? Is there a fix?

iPhone 5, iOS 7

yep Back up yalls phone to your computer or to icloud and do a software restore.

  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.

i've been having the same problem. After upgrading to iOS7 iMessage in general wasn't working but I did Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings and iMessage worked again. BUT shortly after I noticed that messages I sent FROM within the photo album would not go out and would just disappear. I can only send photos only when I access them from the iMessage app. I've tried every solution suggested but to no avail... Very annoying.
