I am not able to share contacts via SMS

[Android Central Question]

I recently upgraded to Nougat Android 7.1.1 on Moto X Play. I am trying to share contact by selecting the contact, followed by share through Message. The contact is attached as a MMS. earlier we were able to delete the Photo etc so that the MMS used to get converted into SMS but with the upgraded 7.1.1 this feature is not available. I do not intend using the data connection but only the normal voice mode and still share contact via SMS which the upgrade 7.1.1 does not appear to support.

Previously, when you would "delete the photo", would a text of the contact appear in the SMS text field?

Create a message with the recipient, on the top right corner, tap on the three dots and a menu will appear, select on insert contact of which will open the contacts app, scroll to the contact you want to share and thats it. It will be sent as plain text.
