If you are having trouble with SMS and MMS messages on your iPhone, the resource below provides some initial troubleshooting steps:
If you can‘t send or receive messages on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
- Go to Settings > Messages. Check that the type of message that you're trying to send is turned on (iMessage, SMS, MMS, or Group messaging):
Restart your device and check for updates
- Restart your device.
- Check for a carrier settings update.
- Check for an iOS software update.
Take care,
- Go to Settings > Messages. Check that the type of message that you're trying to send is turned on (iMessage, SMS, MMS, or Group messaging):

Apr 25, 2016 9:40 PMby L3gacy304,I'm having the same problem after the update. I think it's something to do with iCloud as whenever I click on the camera and a text when I go to load the picture it tries to download and then nothing. I literally have to go into my photos hold copy and paste or take a screenshot and then I can select that screenshot and post it in the text message. all I know Is everything was fine until I took the update. this is why I always wait to update and all it still didn't help. When I called Apple support about it all they said to do was do a rollback

1. Delete the picture you are trying to message; go into your deleted folder and recover that picture. You will be able to send it in a message.
...or
2. Email the picture to yourself, download the picture from your email and you will be able to send it in a message.

Jun 10, 2016 3:36 PMby gliomaboy,This just started for me on 6/10/16 on an iphone 6 Sprint. I have made no changes to the phone between yesterday, when it worked, and today, when it does not. I have found that under "settings" and then "photos & camera" when I switch from "optimize iphone storage" to "download and keep originals" the problem goes away. I suspect this means something is up with icloud, but who am I to say.

Sep 8, 2016 7:30 AMby m1fitzgerald,I had this same problem after an upgrade. I had all the proper settings enabled, but just couldn't attach photos from iCloud to a text. The only thing worked for me was deleting a bunch of old text message. I reduced my used storage space of text messages from about 9GB to about 8GB. Now I'm able to attach again. I don't know what the magic limit of storage is but this worked for me. hope this helps and good luck!
