You should receive a message with your media and the text you sent.

There are some differences between MMS and WhatsApp media messages. Media messages can only be sent to WhatsApp users if there is an active session
established. Sessions are created when a user responds to a template message or the user initiates the conversation by sending in a message. A session lasts for 24h since the last message from the user. WhatsApp media messages also do not support some of the file types that MMS does. For more information on file type support check out the FAQs.
