Does it use data to iMessage pictures?
I have an iPhone and I know with cell phones it uses more of your data plan to text pictures, if you have Wi-Fi and iMessage a picture does it use data?
No, they are sent through Apple's servers, not through carrier's networks.
I think yes if it goes through celltower, but keep in mind imessage will use Wi-Fi or celltower and Wi-Fi doesn't use your cell data.
Yes, using iMessage itself requires data. If you were to connect to the local Wi-Fi or to an internet connection, iMessage would use these services to send your message or picture. It is best to use a Wi-Fi connection whenever possible.
Naw. Goes through Apple's servers not the carrier's. But to be sure use Wi-Fi with iMessage whenever possible. Best luck.

I sent a friend a pic and it said "no data plan subscribed" I turned off my cellular data and it wouldn't send pics. I need help. I don't wanna run up my bill!
- If I keep my data on but also use Wi-Fi will it use my data? I just got an iPhone from us cellular. I use Wi-Fi to save data, but I can't receive group messages if my data isn't on. If I keep my data on all the time, but use Wi-Fi, will it use my data? And if I keep both on will it use my Wi-Fi instead of data?
