~/.mms/modemmanager/mms
That is where everyone says that they are stored but I think they just echo the Chatty values
This is what I did to get MMS working:
- Search online for “my carrier name MMS setup APN”
- Find the APN (Access Point Name). For me it was “telenor.smart”
- On the librem 5 go to settings -> mobile -> Access point names -> Press the “+” sign in top right to add a new one.
- Insert a name of your choosing and the APN address you found in step 2. I just used the same in both fields “telenor.smart”
After this MMS worked in chatty

Just throwing it out there, but seeing the group setup is the default. You can select only one contact to move on to draft and send a message.
As long as the APN settings in “Chatty” matches the on in “Settings > Mobile > Access Point Names” configuration it should send SMS no problem.
For MMS you need to input your carrier’s MMSC address into “Chatty > Preferences > SMS and MMS Settings”

Is your issue about ‘matrix chat protocol’ or that the Attach pic to chat that doesn’t send and doesn’t tell you it didn’t do anything at all?

Yes, it is.
After 4 days, I find that the answer to MY question is; not the carrier, me, or L5. It’s the app itself.
s/b Image, not mage.
Why I thought MMS or the Option to Attach was how to send a text w/ pic is irrelevant now. My question has been answered - sending text w/ pic is not a feature even if it seems pics have been attached and sent.
Thanks for the input,

Sorry, @Sharon, I probably should have replied directly to this for clarity. I was saying I have the same issue as your OP. Chatty’s approach to a ‘new message’ is very confusing in terms of GUI.
As for the other issues with sending and receiving SMS and MMS, I believe I have isolated it (for me at least) down to SMS / MMS over 4G, as opposed to 3G. If I force 3G only connection, messages send and receive fine, with the occasional exception. I think they are limited to 160 characters though, which is tremendously annoying.
Note this report: https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/OS-issues/-/issues/323
(I have not yet confirmed my L5 has VoLTE enabled, as I have not taken steps to enable it. However, I have noted that the header icon stays reading “4G” during phone calls though, which work fine - so at this point I am assuming my L5 had VoLTE enabled out of the box.)
I am sorry but texting pics does work
They are talking about something completely different from what you are talking about.
Yup. I read. I saw. I shared. I need to learn to keep my big share shut. 
But now that it is a certainty that it works - for you - I need to re-focus on getting it to work for me.
BTW - did you use Chats or Chatty? I see there are talks of both. The L5 I have, came with, “Chats”, not Chatty. Researching Chatty, seems to be for Twitch.
Many thanks,

‘Chatty’ and ‘Chats’ are the same thing. It is just very confusing how GNOME and PureOS have labeled stuff🙄
So you just to to find the MMS settings for your carrier.
The carrier tells me the settings are correct. I’ll talk to them again.
Great.I opemd th sms and mms settings and confirmed w/ carrier that they are correct.
I did read some possible issues with Volte (?) being on or off and possibly limited to 2G or 3G not 4G or words to the affect but I may have read it wrong. I’m checking later.

If that’s the case then maybe the modem firmware needs to be updated? For that you will have to reach out to Purism support.
I checked, still the same correct settings. OK, I give up. It’s a text only and I wil just send pics from camera to desktop Win, and email them. Bit archaic. But just another thing that doesn’t work - yet. One day.

What carrier do you use? (Just for curiosity’s sake)
Thaaaaaat’s confidential, but I’ll trust you to keep it a secret 
Koodo, subsidiary of Telus.
There is a notable problem though. APN address is correct. However, they said they don’t require a username or password. Too late, it was already there. It cannot be deleted, only edited. So as it is, there is no username, but what was a password, is not just a space. Cannot leave it blank.
I was going to ask here, how to tell APN there is no password. Now I’ll ask.
~s
Make a new one🙂
Well, as I said, “no password” no User name. Now that APN is stuck with a password, any p[assword, even a blank space, is a No No according to Koodo.
I asked here how to get rid of the password/username in L5s Pure OS. Else, Koodo may trip on it.
Koodo said,
That means your suggestion of making another password goes against their grain.
I’ll ask in a new Topic.Still no idea why clicking SMS/MMS in the menu brings up create a group. (this topic)
SUMMARY:
Create SMS/MMS text should not open Create Group.
If people would only read eh!

Sorry, I meant make a new APN.

You’re good! Five minutes and text w/ pic works great!
The kid at the store where I signed up w/ carrier had wrong info. The Koodo folk told me the settings were correct. They should read the site you gave me.
I was going to send you a bottle of wine, but since I don’t have your address, I’ll take care of it for you. Cheers and many thanks.
