Photos sent in iPhone texts disappear or show as blank

Why are some photos that I've sent in texts on my iphone disappearing from the texts after a day or so? Photo below is what I see when I go back to look for the photo in the text. There's just a blank white "page".

Obviously you didn't give us enough information to answer your question. My guess is low storage on your phone. Many operations use the iPhone's empty storage space to move files around. If you run out of storage, then those operations may not be able to be completed and, ironically, that can mean that even deleting doesn't work. If you have less than 10% available, then things can get lost forever. This is also true if your iCloud storage space gets low.
