iPhone won't send picture texts to Android phones

Yes, yes and yes. I have sprint. I have data and my plan isn't preventing it. I don't have problems sending anything from my daughters android to other androids. Just from the iPhone. I have checked all of the settings from the previous post. I'm at a loss on what else to check.

Why you think we are stupid? I phone have a problem and don't want to address it. And calling US stupid is the best thing that they can do; shame on you all this doesn't make us want apple more or going to make us tell our friends buy iPhone so I can send you picks and videos.

Yes! I can send videos to my husbands iPhone and it sends instantly, but no photos to my friends with androids at all.

Do you have MMS enabled with your carrier? Do you have MMS turned on in Settings>Messages? Do you have an active cellular data connection?

I would start by double checking with Sprint that there are no blocks on MMS on your account. I know you said it's enabled but sometimes things happen. I've seen it happen that someone tries to put a block on something on a child's phone and it ends up on theirs. Or, when they switch phones, settings get messed up.

My next step would be to reset the network settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings (note this will delete all saved WiFi passcodes).

I am having problems sending videos and pictures to anyone to and I have also done everything that you said or that that other person said. I have since then asked around my office and nobody seems to be able to send pictures or video to a phone other than iPhone we all have several different carriers

Had the same issue. I couldn't send mms to android phones, only iMessages to Apple devices.

Strangely enough, turning _OFF_ "MMS messaging" (grey) in Settings>Messages actually solved the problem for me. Now MMS works fine, although it's still deactivated.

please help! I hate the new iOS 11!!!!

SMS & MMS are both carrier functions. Your device can only send to Android via a carrier provided function.

Start here.

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

Please point out where I said anyone was stupid. In order to determine whether the problem is with the phone itself, one must do troubleshooting. And, no, most iPhones don't have a problem sending pictures to Android users.

I don't think your stupid; I think you're rude.

Make sure that you have contacted your carrier to be sure you have MMS enabled on your device. Go to Settings>Messages and make sure that MMS messaging is enabled. Make sure you have an active cellular data connection.

This just worked for me: Go to Settings --> Messages and make sure that BOTH "Send as SMS" and "MMS Messaging" are turned on.

"Send as SMS" has nothing to do with sending messages to Android users. That setting is only relevant to iMessage recipients. It tells the phone to resend an iMessage as SMS if it fails to go as an iMessage.

All I can tell you is that MMS Messaging was already on, and I wasn't able to send photos to my sister's android phone. I had tried 3 times. As soon as I turned on Send as SMS, the photos went through.

That would either indicate that your sister had switched from an iPhone to an Android phone and hadn't deregistered her phone or that it was a coincidence that it started working at the same time. I've done the test repeatedly, every time someone says this is the case. I've had no problem sending an MMS to an Android phone (with a number that was never activated on an iPhone) with that setting disabled.

Hello. I have had this problem for years. I read all the way through this thread and did everything very carefully. Tested every step nothing worked. Then called Verizon and they said YES MMS was blocked! She unblocked and had me send a picture to an android phone and sure enough they got it. Then I sent a message into a mixed android iPhone group text I had been knocked out of. They all got my text! yay! It is a thing. So happy to solve this.

I tried everything in the walk through with no luck. I can't send any videos to my android family. They can send me photos and such but I can't send any videos to them. please help! I hate the new iOS 11!!!!

I know your first response is to assume I’m inept, but I’m not the only one with this issue. None of the fixes you listed did anything. Please try harder.

No one is assuming you're inept. Unless you tell us what you've done already, we don't know. "Everything" is not that useful. We can try harder at mind reading but, really I think it would be more productive if you tried harder at giving more details.

What did your carrier say when you contacted them?
