Andrioid messages - can't add pictures in messages

[slave]

So, since the update, when I go to add a picture, it only gives me the option to take a picture. The shortctut to add a picture from the gallery is gone.

After I clear the cache, it's back. Then it goes away again.

If I hit the "+" sign, I can go the long way and select a file to attach. Anyone else?

Then you have to try with data and force stop

Works for a bit, then breaks again

Sounds like a bug , try another text app like Textra see if same.

You can also uninstall the update to Google messages see if that works .
