Attaching photos to existing text messages/threads

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.
