I can't attach a photo on text messages to non iMessage users after 9.3 update

I have been having problems ever since the first iOS 9 update. Currently, after updating to 9.3, the camera icon to attach a photo or video to a text message is greyed out to contacts that are not using iMessage. But even previously since the iOS 9 update, I haven't been able to successfully send an MMS message to, again, a non iMessage using user. It will just fail to send every single time. When will this get fixed!? I have reset my phone, reset network settings, changed APN setting, the whole 9 yards.

iPhone 6s, iOS 9.3

I Had the same issues with not being able to txt pictures on my camera roll. I know of a couple ways around this until apple fixes this enormous issue.

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.

Well, I just stumbled across a solution. I wanted to send pictures in a txt message to my own e-mail (not messenger) and found since upgrading to IOS 10, when I hit the 'camera' icon at the bottom I now get the 'live camera' turning on in the lower left side and the right side is only a limited number of my library pics. How do I bring up other pictures in my library? On the left side of the 'live' camera view is an arrow. Hit that and your complete library comes up. Touch the picture you want and it loads in to the message space. I discovered you can also select more than one picture to send at a time. Just tried it so I'll need to see how it appears in my e-mail. At least I figured that out. :-)
