Texting photos to non-Apple devices requires MMS. MMS requires:
- Settings > Apps > Messages > MMS Messaging = “on”, and
- Permission from your cellular carrier to use MMS under your plan.

I have the most recent iOS 27.0.1. I had no problems texting pictures until this update to my iPhone 15, two days ago. MMS is on, and my cell carrier is the same. I can’t even text a picture to my wife’s iPhone (and she is sitting next to me)

I’ve also found that she cannot text me a picture either. The picture comes via airdrop?!
