my pictures will "fail to send" and the option to retry will come up in the notification center and in the text message itself.

I will clear it out of my notification panel it and delete the pic in the text message itself and it will still resend again 8+times. in the convo it does not say that the person got the picture, it still says "failed" on the screen. but the person will have received it numerous times.

if I "send it as new" it will arrive 'delivered" . they will get the new picture that I "sent as new" but they will also still get the one that "failed" numerous times.

~I would like to know if there is a way to stop the pending process of that picture so it's stops them from getting it 8+ times?
~Or am I doing something incorrect?

I have reached out to Verizon, they pretend like they have no idea what I'm talking about.

I have tried turning the airplane mode on and off to stop it from being in a pending process and that does nothing.

I do have a newer phone, I have the Samsung Galaxy Z fold3, and it did it with my prior phone which was the Galaxy s21 if that is of any help.
