I can't send both text and a photo in the same message?

I had a Galaxy S4 mini until last month when I upgraded to the S6 Edge. I used to be able to send a text with a photo, all within the same message. But now I can only send the photo, then I have to send the text by itself (or the other way around), producing two messages. What gives?

Welcome to Android Central! What happens if you type the text first, then attach a photo?

It sends just the picture. I type the text, click the attach paperclip icon, it takes me to my photos, I select one, and the only option is to press send (on the select photo screen), and it just sends the photo.

Are you using the stock Messaging app, or a different one like Verizon Messages+?
