This might be a silly question but my phone will not send or receive pictures. It says something about mobile data being disabled. How do I fix that this just started a couple of days ago?

Yep, picture messages won't send/receive over wi-fi, they require a data connection. They don't count against your data package, though, they count against your text package.

You can also enable or disable mobile data with the notification menu that slides down from the top of your screen. There is a button there between mute and screen rotation, and sometimes it gets hit accidentally. My husband wanted to throw his phone across a room when he turned his data off and didn't even realize he could do that.
