Welcome to Android Central! That means it's an MMS message, which is either a picture text or a group text. MMS requires mobile data -- is yours turned on? If it is and the problem persists, then make sure your APN settings are correct for your carrier: https://www.androidcentral.com/what-apn-and-how-do-i-change-it
