Bug description
When sending a picture, the toggle to set it to view once is not visible.
I think this might be related to a change in AttachmentApprovalToolbar.
Steps to reproduce
- Open the conversation
- Tap the camera
- Take a picture
- On the screen to confirm/edit/add a message before sending, there is no button to select view once
Actual result: the toggle to select view once is not present.
Expected result: there should be an icon next to the sending button that one can tap to mark the media as viewable once.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue by opening a conversation, taking a photo, and checking the confirmation screen before sending. Start by investigating the AttachmentApprovalToolbar mentioned in the report. Done means the view-once icon is visible next to the send button and can mark the photo as viewable once on iOS 26.
