Ok, wife has a Samsung J3 after the latest update she is no longer able to download or send mms without turning on her data. Before the update she could. I still can Send and recieve mms with my data off on my S9. I can't figure out what settings were changed in the update. I've checked the APN but all is still correct there.... I'm lost.

I get that.
But does it automatically connect temporarily then? Cause at work I send pics and never turn my data on, I leave it off unless I get on Facebook for a second and then turn it back off....

Ok. Well apparently the update took away something that shouldn't have been working in the first place I guess.......I really hope I can avoid the update then. Cause I dont leave my data on so I can conserve it. Sending and receiving mms with mine off saves the data for now.
Years ago, my vzw thunderbolt worked like mine now, sent mms with data off...

If you go I to settings, then connection should have a menu there to use data saver mode

What’s the point of having a smart phone if you don’t use it?
Anyways the update must have “fixed” something. Maybe the data was not actually off but ‘paused’, which would be basically the same.

She was forced to upgrade to a smart phone cause our carrier was switching to volte otherwise she'd still have her antique flip phone...lol.
Also prior to the update when data was off, it was just off. Now when it's off there an

Are you with Verizon?
No, straight talk. But both her phone and mine were bought unlocked through Samsung and then put on straight talk service.
Mine uses vzw towers and sim.
Hers uses att.

Didn’t do anything? I think he was telling you that out can conserve data that way. I also think if you turn off sync and use a custom low power setting it will do the same and be easier for you. QoL right there. Play around and see what you like. Makes it easier

Then you're on Verizon. (Straight Talk is the people you pay - Verizon is your carrier.)
If your wife is on AT&T, she has a totally different setup than you have, even if both bills come from Straight Talk.
