This might be an iOS6 bug. If I take a photo and decide I want to send it to my friend via my iPhone 5 using Messages, I found the message fails to deliver if I do it from the camera roll, if I use this path:
Take a photo, choose the image in the lower left corner of the Camera app which brings me to the image in the camera roll. Then choose to share the image via Messages and then choose my friend from my address book.
What happens is Messages creates a new conversation thread (which in of itself is annoying) and places the image there ready to send. I send it off and add a text message. But both take forever to send and eventually fail. I get the little red exclamation mark.
So then I go to my existing conversation thread with my friend and choose to send him a photo which I select from the camera roll and that works fine, as expected.
Why doesn't it work the other way? Anyone else having this problem?
Is it because my friend and I both have iPhone 5s and have had that wacky Apple ID confusion with multiple discussion threads (am I messaging his email address or his phone number)?
It's a little annoying, but after a few tries, I just do it the other way - take the pic, close the camera app/camera roll and open Messages to share the image.
