Stock messaging app can't attach photo Dec 10, 2017

    When I click the + next to enter text bar, the only option that is clickable is the camera one. It won't let me attach a photo from the gallery. The only way to send a photo is to go to the gallery then share it to the messaging app.

    I don't see any update for the app, so I'm not sure how to fix this.

    looks like the only way to do it is by taking a picture or going into gallary and sharing picture.

    You can also download google messaging

    I can, the third option is to add images from the gallery.

    Ya I know, that's the problem. It's not selectable. It's grayed out.

    SO I'm guessing there is no information on this? Am I just unable to use this the stock app?

    Check your permissions. I bet the messaging app asked for access to photos and files, and got "dismissed accidentally".
    Make sure it has access to both of these, or reset its permissions and it'll ask you again.

    After checking the permissions, ensure you have all the correct Carrier settings, APN type. - Try a network reset, if all else fails factory reset, and ensure APN settings.

    Not entirely sure I know what settings you're referring to.

    I'm also confused as to why Carrier/Network settings would have an impact on this. If the attached pic wasn't sending then carrier/network settings would make sense. But the option to even attach a picture through the gallery icon isn't working. Which makes me think it would be an actual phone issue. I guess I could try a factory reset, though that's not ideal.

    I'm using Facebook messenger, kinda like it. it gives you a option in the top right (sms) and it gives all your contacts a picture not just a number. two days now and I'm liking it.

    I had the same problem and for me changing permissions for SMS/MMS applications works.

    I checked permissions. The stock app has sms permissions and I don't see any options for MMS permission. I gave it permission for the camera thinking maybe that's connected to the gallery but that didn't work.

    just found it! when you go into messages, don't put the cursor in the typing box, so it is collapsed. first click on the plus sign and you will see photos you can attach
