Remote Content was loaded through your current VPN configuration

I have a feeling this setting under Settings -> Mail -> Privacy Protection is why you're seeing it. If it's on, maybe turn it off and see if that changes anything?

Here is a link to a thread responded to by one of the senior members of this forum with links about VPN and iPhone, which you can read if you like: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/250638802?answerId=251223245022#251223245022

Remove the VPN profile on your iPhone. They are NOT needed on iPhone and often cause more issues than they could possibly protect.

• Open the Settings app on your iPhone’s
• Select General, and then Profile
• Locate the VPN profile of the app you want to remove.
• Click on the red “Delete Profile” button located at the bottom.

Then you got a phishing message and just ignore it.

If you see 'Unable to load remote content privately' at the top of an email - Apple Support (MY)

Why would you tell someone that? It’s absolutely ridiculous! VPN is not only can protect your privacy when you go onto the Internet but they can also prevent your ISP as well as Apple from snooping around in your devices.

Who would want that?

I use defender alongside M365 E5 license. This is why I get the message, on non iCloud mail accounts. As to why it only happens in Airplane mode when there is no VPN config warrants a closer look. Edge device?

“Then you got a phishing message and just ignore it. “

It’s an error from apple. I’ve had the same issue and never had vpn on my phone EVER. It went away on its own. These other people are just guessing

I stand by my statement. A VPN on iPhone is not only unnecessary, but often causes all sorts of issues for users. If you want to believe they "protect" you, that's fine. I'm not telling you what to do on your own iPhone.

One of the big reasons people don't trust what big tech companies say it's because they have a history of lying about what they do or say. Please, and lightness with just a little bit of the insight you have regarding VPNs and iPhones. Perhaps a link to an article that's not Apple produced would help.

Sorry, I don't have an interest in debating the merits in favor or not in favor. Having been around this forum for more than a decade, I've seen lots of issues people experience when using VPN on iPhone. I have no interest or need to use a VPN and you'll find most of the more knowledgeable members of this forum (none of us work for Apple, btw) do not promote VPN use on iPhone.

If you feel it's a benefit, go for it. That's the beauty of free choice.

I never asked for a debate. I asked for a link to an article (that mirrors your opinion) regarding the lack of necessity of a VPN on Apple devices. You are here in this Apple sponsored forum to answer questions in a friendly and meaningful way, are you not? If a link isn't something you have knowledge of, then I ask for your direct opinion about the subject.
