icon of camera won't work to send pic with text

Howdy Mitzymom,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like there is an issue sending texts with photos from the Messages app on your iPhone. If the issue only occurs in when tapping the icon in the Messages app, not when texting pictures from other apps like the photo app, try the general app troubleshooting suggestions below on the Messages app.
iOS: An app you installed unexpectedly quits, stops responding, or won’t open - Apple Support
Restart the app
Close the app and open it again.
Restart your device
Turn the device off and on.
Update your device software and your apps
Update your device to the latest version of iOS.
If the issue occurs when trying to send texts with photos from any app, try the MMS and iMessage troubleshooting suggestions here:
iOS: Troubleshooting Messages - Apple Support
Take care,
-Jason

  • Front face camera won't work for pictures. But it works perfectly on FaceTime, any way of fixing this?

    Front face camera won't work for pictures. But it works perfectly on FaceTime, any way of fixing this?
    When I try and change the camera to face front it acts like it's going to change then kind of freezes and won't let me change back to the back camera for several minutes.
    Any ways of fixing this?

    If you restored to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes (Not via Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Setting) and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.

  • My camera won't work on my Iphone 5

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

  • Torch won't turn off and back camera won't work after dropping it in a pool. What can I do?

    I put it in rice as soon as I got back, and left it for 36 hours as instructed by a website and friends. Ever since dropping it the torch hasn't turned off and the bac camera won't work.

    Water and electronics do not mix well.  Your device may not ever work properly again, and probably needs to be replaced.  Unless you have the AppleCare Protection Plan Plus, then it will cost $199 USD to replace an iPhone 4S.
    The rice trick works best if you leave it for at least 4-5 days, not 1.5 days.  But even that is no guarantee.

  • Sending pictures with text messages on iPhone 4

    I am no longer able to send pictures with text messages on my iPhone 4.  I used to have this capability, but it was lost with one of the software updates.
    This function is not one of the options when I attempt to send a photograph.  Also the camera icon next to the text entry bar in Messaging does not work.
    How can I get this capability back?

    For Instagram you can try and uninstall and reinstall the app and see if that fixes it. But if not you can try and resetting all settings, Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings.
