If you have recently updated the IOS version on your phone check the following settings to make sure they haven't changed:
- unlock your phone and go to Settings
- Scroll down to Apps (It's probably at the bottom of the list).
- On the next screen scroll down to Messages and tap there.
- Scroll through the settings and make sure MMS messaging is on. If you have IOS 18 or higher, it might be a good idea to turn on RCS messaging as well. it might be a good idea to activate RCS as well. It seems to support some features that MMS doesn't support.
