Go to Settings>Siri & Search> then scroll down to Messages> turn on 'Learn from this App'. When you send a text to someone, they should be visible in the bar of recent contacts when you go to send a photo.

You could also turned on 'Suggest App'. Go to Settings > Siri & Search, scroll down, then select an app. Turn settings on or off.
