Cannot send or receive pictures in Messages MMS
I recently stopped being able to send or receive MMS pictures in messages app on my Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G. This started within the last 7 days. I have tried everything, power resets, force stopping, turning on Wi-Fi calling, but to no avail.

I cannot send any Android user any kind of mms or file. It says not delivered. I tried to force stop and restart. I done all the clicking the iMessage and resetting the setting and it still won’t do it. I was on chat with someone from Apple for over an hour and they couldn’t figure it out. I called At&T and they couldn’t figure it out. It’s annoying. I noticed it after one of the upgrades but I thought that it was just a one time thing, but no, few months later it’s still happening!

bought Alcatel Smartflip at Target Jan 2021; zipcode 48187; strong wifi signal. I cannot receive pics, nor can I send pics. "Auto Retrieve Message" is not an option shown in settings. I turn on data. I even turned on international roam. It says network failure. I never had this with my previous ATT flip phone.
I read the following instructions on this forum:
Auto Retrieve Messages: Select this option to automatically retrieve all your multimedia messages.
When On without roaming is selected, the multimedia message header plus the message body and attachments will automatically download to your phone when not in roaming mode, this is default option.
When On with roaming option is selected, the multimedia message header plus the message body and attachments will automatically download to your phone when in roaming mode. When you select Off, only the multimedia message header will be retrieved and shown in your Messaging screen.

I have a Samsung Note 20 Ultra on a plan that was just upgraded to 5G. Ever since the upgrade my sms and mms have been inconsistent. I have the latest software update and using Google Messages.
Restarting phone, switching it into airplane mode, turning off wifi calling all do nothing.

Starting on Saturday 04/17/21 my MMS began showing the NoSubject: Message Size: Expires; box and shows the spinning download symbol but doesn't download group texts or pictures. The Error: Network Error message occasionally appears. I have factory reset. Turned of wifi. Turned off mobile data. Checked the APN. (Nxtgenphone). I've searched every forum suggestion. No solution so far. HELP!?

I updated my note 20 ultra on april 17, 2021 and since then have not been able to send or receive picture messages through regular texting apps. I use Textra as my default, so I tried switching to the native Samsung messaging app and still had the problem. I can send pictures through Facebook messenger and instagram, and sending regular text messages works just fine.
I reset my network settings, cleared the cash in my texting apps, did a soft reset of my phone, reset my mms settings, turned my cellular data off and back on, toggled wifi on and off, toggled airplane mode off and on, took my sim card out and then put it back, and done everything else I've been able to find on the internet, and nothing works.
I did put my sim in my old S20 Ultra and I was able to send and receive mms through my texting apps just fine. So I know it must have something to do with my Note 20 ultra and/or the most recent update. I have AT&T Firstnet, if that makes a difference. I've tried seeing if I can uninstall the update, but it doesn't look like that's possible

Starting in the last week, I cannot send or receive MMS messages (pictures) to a couple of specific phone numbers. A week ago I could. I can still send and receive MMS messages to other numbers. The numbers that I have a problem with are not having problems sending and receiving MMS messages. I have restarted the phone using the volume down and power buttons and reset the network connections.
