I wasn’t sure how to Google this: when I try to send someone a photo in a text, it gets a little number in the corner and I can’t send it. Anyone know what’s going on with my phone? ---

Can you still send photos as an iMessage (meaning to another Apple device) or is it just when you text (meaning to say an Android device) that doesn’t work? Which corner are you talking about? What’s the number? Is there an alert dialog box that appears after you tap the send button or do you hit the send button and just nothing happens or what? ---

Is it a number or an exclamation mark? ---

All right, I’m deeply embarrassed about this. After posting the topic, I went to a film and turned off my phone. When I just tried to send a photo now, it seems to have resolved itself. @zbuzz it’s a little blue number that counts up as you choose pictures. Pops up in the upper left corner. Happens no matter who I’m sending to as far as phone. Originally the photos just wouldn’t jump to the text box, but now they’re doing it. Wanted to answer your questions even though it’s been solved somehow. If a mod could lock this and also throw it in a fire I’d be grateful. ---

Was it stuck in Select mode? I only get that number when I’m trying to send multiple photos by touching Select in Photos first. ---
