Images not loading in the mail app after updating my iPhone to iOS 15

Yes, it is typical of Apple software to go to great lengths to protect their customer’s privacy, more than any other vendor in the computer field. Most go out of their way to invade their customer’s privacy.

Forget about a fix. I lost all my mail. Has never gotten back, tried everything. Apple choses to ignore the mail problems. If your phone or ipad is over two years old the mail cannot be retrieved. Very dissatisfied. Use another app for email.

If you lost all your email and you can’t see it by logging in to your mail provider’s webmail site the problem has nothing to do with your iPhone. If your email is still available in webmail you can restore it to your iPhone’s mail app. If your mail account with your provider has 2 factor authentication enabled you will need to follow their instructions to create an “app password”.

Pictures stopped loading for me recently after updating to iOS 15.5. This only happens to me when on wifi, i switch to cellular the pictures and email contents load instantly. I used to see the option to selectively load content at the top of emails, which I liked.

I went through every possible email / messages setting I can find, as suggested by others. Finally, I went to my wifi connection details, I first tried turning [private wifi address] on and off, it didn’t make a difference, then I tried disabling [limit IP address tracking], it was on by default, now I get the “load content” option on my emails again! Hope this helps others having a similar challenge.

After updating to 15.5 this morning, I no longer had the “load images” option. In order to get this feature back, I had to go into settings > mail > privacy protection > turn OFF hide IP address. After doing this, the “load images” option was available on my emails. I’m unclear why I can’t hide my IP anymore.

Correct, the more accurate question would have been who I now have to change my privacy setting. Everything else is the exact same, but to get the option to load images in my mail messages, which was the default before, I have to allow IP tracking. I suppose I’ll unsubscribe from those that require tracking?

I'm running IOS 15.5 on my iPhone 12. After doing what ECJulie suggested, and allowing IP Tracking, if I go into the Mail app (with WIFI on or off) I still see NO OPTION to Load Images. This is SOOOO irritating! Suggestions?

Update: First, the open was gone and no photos, then no option but photos came through, about two days ago the option to load the images magically appeared! No clue how and I haven’t tried turning off tracking.

I found that the only way to load images in my received emails is to turn off (Limit IP Address Tracking) by going to Settings > Wi-Fi.

Then click the blue (i) beside your WiFi network name. Now you can find (Limit IP Address Tracking), turn it off.

This worked for me.

This was a fix suggested by someone earlier in the thread. I was getting the images when using the mobile network. They just weren't coming through with WiFi. I was also having problems with sites not loading. As soon as I switched off WiFi the sites were loading. Having switched off "Limit IP Address Tracking" I've not had any problems since with emails and websites.

Well, there are (literally and I do mean literally) thousands of us who still need help with loading our mail on our iphones. Also, toggling the privacy protection either way does not help. Can you help us? Thanks!!

Did you try the fix I posted on the 29th June? This has nothing to do with privacy settings. It was in the WiFi settings. Click on the word WiFi, then click on the name of your WiFi. Scroll down. In those settings my Private Wi-Fi Address is switched on, but my Limit IP Address Tracking is switched off. Hope this helps.

There is not an option for "load all images" for iPhone 11 in the mail settings. How can images be turned on for this device after the 15.2 update??

Did you try the setting in the article above your post ?

1. Go to Settings  > Mail > Privacy Protection.
2. Turn on / off. " Protect Mail Activity ".

All the best
