after I recently upgraded the OS for my iPhone 6, I am no longer able to select and attach photos to existing text messages. When I click the camera feature, all I can do is take a new pic and attach it but I can select from my existing set of pics. Any help would be much appreciated.
Tap the Apps icon to bring up the row of apps. The Photos app should be all the way to the left. Tap that and you can select from your existing photos.
Not very intuitive if you ask me. Not sure why that changed.

After you click on the camera icon in message, you can select photos from your library, by clicking on the icon at the very top left, it will open your photos.

I never notice that, always been clicking the camera button.
Actually I’m using my iPad, but after updating to iOS 12.1 when I tap the camera icon, it only lets me take a photo. I have to tap the appsicon to see the photos app and I can select photos from the photos app that way.
I assume that the phone works the same way.
Thank you, solved my problem.
You’re welcome.
