Can't text photos?

So i moved away from iPhone and have settled into using EOS on my oneplus 7t.

But one thing I’m still struggling with is the camera and sending pictures. Because I have a lot of friends and family who are far away so I send a lot of pictures except now it’s completely hit or miss whether they send, or I get a “failed to send” error.

I have tried lower quality so that it would be a smaller file and I have tried on and off of wireless and it doesn’t seem to make a difference. I tried with and without exif too, I thought maybe the phone was blocking it because of privacy issues, but that doesn’t seem to make a difference either.

Does anyone have any idea what the heck might be going on? I could contact my cell phone company except if I cannot reliably reproduce the problem I am pretty sure they won’t be able to help me.

For what it’s worth I messed around with the Android camera settings a lot because I am new to the Android and I wasn’t sure what was what so maybe I set something wrong?

In Message app > top left 3 bar menu > Settings is Auto-compress MMS attachments did you try different settings there?

I have never touched that. I did not know those settings were there. Thank you!
