how can I get pictures to open that i receive thru text msg'g on my android stylo lg 4g?

[AC Question]

when I get an text msg with a picture attached, it won't open/load for me to view, the wheel just keeps spinning and spinning. The same thing happens when I try to send a text with a pic attachment. My contact receives the text but there is no attachment to it? Also, when I sent my picture message via text it took an extremely long time to complete the 'send' process.
