Turn off all effects when sending text messages

I cannot send text messages to other iPhone users without using an effect. When I initiate a text message before typing there is an audio option. Once I type, there is the blue arrow. Whether I tap or hold the blue arrow, it always takes me to an effects selection screen. If I "x" out of the screen and try to tap the send arrow again, it takes me right back to the effects screen. I cannot send a text to another iPhone user unless I select an effect. I have tried going to Accessibility and making sure the Reduce Motion option is on. The only way I can send a text without an effect is by using "Hey Siri". Any solutions out there?
