User level: Level 1 (4 points)I have an iPhone 15 pro. I recently can’t send photos through iMessage. I.e., text messages. I can receive photos via iMessage. Any idea why I can’t send photos via text?

Text message (MMS) is message to non iphone users.
imessage is message to other Apple devies.
if you have VPN enable turn it off, if that doesn't help contact your phone carrier MMS is their feature.
If you can't send or receive messages on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
