Hi Brownbutterfly,

Welcome to the Apple Community.


Wondering if you are trying to send the messages over WiFi with the Messages app.


How to: Send and receive photos, videos, and audio messages on iPhone – Apple Support (AU)


Else :


If you use SMS for texts. and MMS for texts with photos etc., on iPhone, you need a text messaging plan.

You might need to check with your wireless carrier whether you can send MMS on your current plan.
