Monterey: images no longer loading in text messages
Since upgrading to Monterey on my MacBook Pro (2020), images no longer automatically load on incoming Messages. Is there a known fix for this issue?
Thanks in advance.
Worked! Thank you.

BINGO!! I've had this issue since I got my 14" M1 Pro MacBook Pro in October. THIS THREAD SOLVED MY ISSUE! After creating my admin account, I changed the capitalization of the username. Example: book > Book. After reading this thread, I know this is what caused the error. I am clearly listing the instructions (helps me to see it this way). To fix the iMessage glitch:
Note: If the affected account is an admin account, you must create a second admin account and log into that to complete the following:
- In Finder, locate your Home folder in Macintosh HD>Users. Ensure the name of this folder is what you want the Home folder to be called. Right click and rename if desired (no spaces!).
- Go to User Groups in System Preferences.
- Right click the affected account > Advanced Options
- Change Account name to match the Home folder name exactly. (Full name field is unrelated and can be whatever you want)
- Next to Home directory, select Browse to locate and choose the Home folder.
- Click OK. Restart Mac. Done.

Glad to be of help!
Yes, it is safe to delete the Guest Administrator account after you did all the steps.
Has there been a fix for this. Apple support could not figure out how to resolve this.
