Things to try when you can’t send picture messages on Android
- If you are using a prepaid card, before moving any further, make sure you have enough funds on the card.
- Ensure mobile data is enabled. The easiest way to turn it on is from the notification panel. Another option is to navigate to Settings > Network and then turn the mobile data on.
- Is there a new version of the messaging app? Head over to Play Store, and if there is an update, get it.
- Force close the app and relaunch it. Go to Settings > Apps, find Messages, tap on it and then tap Force Close. Go back to the home screen and launch it.
- Restart your phone – perhaps one of the processes or apps working in the background created some issue. A restart will close them all. In addition, it will refresh the phone’s memory.
- Clear Messaging app cache and data – Go to Settings > Apps > Messaging app, tap on Storage, and tap Clear cache. After that, tap on the option Clear Data.
- Update the software – Navigate to Settings > System > Update. Download and install the latest version.
- Reset network settings – Go to Settings > System > Reset. Tap Reset network settings. After doing this, you will have to set up your Wi-Fi connection from scratch and pair your phone with other Bluetooth devices because the option will reset all the connection settings to factory defaults.
