Good morning
Have iMac (Retina 4K, 21.5-inch, 2019) with 8 GB 2400 Mhz DDR4 Memory
Consistently have a problem with memory getting loaded and thought about adding memory
Looks like I cannot add memory but Apple Authorized Support can
Had anyone had this problem with memory on the iMac
iMac 21.5″, macOS 11.1
Apple itself will not do memory upgrades to the 21.5" iMacs but an Authorized Apple Service Provider will. Call then, give them the Model ID, size and year of the iMac and get an estimate before you go to the trouble of hauling it in. It won't be inexpensive.

Since 2012 or so, only the 27" iMac has user-upgradable memory, something that can be done rather easily. On all other screen sizes, the memory upgrade is a complicated process that is better left to experts.

If your iMac is still under warranty, absolutely use an Apple authorized facility. Even if it's no longer under warranty, I would personally recommend going directly to an Apple Store or contacting them for "repair" because I've had bad experiences in the past with Apple "authorized facilities".
Thank you for responding
bought my first iMac last year after several years with PC
if I understand correct, memory can be increased but only by authorized Apple dealers or repair facilities?
Well, Old Toad just corrected me. Sorry for suggesting Apple itself could do it.
