Sending picture messages, also known as MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service) or media sharing via messaging apps, is a simple process on both Android and iPhone. Whether you’re sharing memories with friends or sending important images, here’s how you can do it. ##### **Sending Picture Messages on Android** 1. **Using the Messages App (MMS)** - Open the **Messages** app. - Tap the **+ (compose new message)** button or select an existing conversation. - Tap the **attachment (paperclip or image icon)**. - Choose **Gallery** or **Camera** to select or capture an image. - Tap **Send** to deliver the picture message. 2. **Using Other Messaging Apps (WhatsApp, Messenger, etc.)** *You may need to use other messaging applications when roaming to countries where data access is supported, but text is not. * - Download WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger from the Google Play Store. - Open the messaging app of your choice. - Select a contact or conversation. - Tap the **photo or attachment icon**. - Choose an existing picture or take a new one. - Send the image instantly over the internet. **Note:** If your MMS messages aren't sending, ensure **mobile data is enabled**, as MMS requires an internet connection via your carrier. ##### **Sending Picture Messages on iPhone** 1. **Using iMessage (Apple Users)** *If you are trying to use iMessage over WiFi, all iPhones are supported. If you are trying to use iMessage over cellular, your phone must run iOS 13.3 or a later version of the operating system. * - Open the **Messages** app. - Select a contact using iMessage (blue bubbles). - Tap the **camera icon** to take a new picture or the **Photos app icon** to choose an image. - Press **Send** to share the picture. 2. **Using MMS (Non-iMessage Contacts)** - Follow the same steps as iMessage. If the recipient isn’t using iMessage (green bubbles), your message will be sent as MMS. - Ensure **MMS Messaging** is enabled under **Settings \> Messages** if needed. 3. **Using Third-Party Apps** - Open an app like **WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, or Instagram**. - Tap the **photo icon**, select or take a picture, and send. ##### **Something wrong? Complete these troubleshooting steps.** - Ensure **Wi-Fi or mobile data** is turned on for iMessage and Airplane mode is turned OFF. - If MMS isn’t working, check that it’s enabled under **Settings \> Messages \> MMS Messaging** and that your carrier supports it. By following these steps, you can easily send picture messages on both Android and iPhone. If you encounter any issues, checking your internet connection and messaging settings should help resolve them. - [Learn About Mobile](https://help.redpocket.com/learn-about-mobile?hsLang=en#main-content) - [About SIMs and Plans](https://help.redpocket.com/learn-about-mobile?hsLang=en#about-sims-and-plans) - [About Devices](https://help.redpocket.com/learn-about-mobile?hsLang=en#about-devices) - [Products & Plans](https://help.redpocket.com/products-plans?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Devices](https://help.redpocket.com/products-plans?hsLang=en#devices) - [Plans](https://help.redpocket.com/products-plans?hsLang=en#plans) - [Programs](https://help.redpocket.com/products-plans?hsLang=en#programs) - [Orders & Shipping](https://help.redpocket.com/orders-shipping?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Ordering Online](https://help.redpocket.com/orders-shipping?hsLang=en#ordering-online) - [Shipping](https://help.redpocket.com/orders-shipping?hsLang=en#shipping) - [Activating & Setting Up](https://help.redpocket.com/activating-setting-up?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Activating your line](https://help.redpocket.com/activating-setting-up?hsLang=en#activating-your-line) - [Activated?
