I’ve updated to iOS 16.3, MMS is on, I’ve restarted the phone and no matter what I do I keep getting message failed for anything other than a text message. If it has an image, it fails.

Any ideas what I can try?

cellular data (not wifi) is ON? and also ON for all apps under settings - cellular (especially messages) ?

Oooh let me try that second option….

I don’t see an option for messages in the list of apps using cellular data? Is it somewhere else?

hmm I see, I would probably recommend you to call your carrier. Maybe MMS is disabled on their end if your cellular data is working

Thanks, I’ve just done it and although they said nothing was wrong on their end, they asked me to reset network setting while they “refreshed” something on their end and it’s magically working again. Thanks for the help.

IPhone images are a special format unsupported by Android. Try saving the image as jpg.

This is false. Android supports heic. Heic is the format my pictures are saved in.

For some reason the only way I can send images are as jpg. I’d also like to know if there is a setting I missed so I can images saved on my phone.

Why would what is compatible with android affect what you could send? If your previous post was correct they would still receive the pictures but not be able to open them.
