Gifs won't load on iPhone (#images) after update

Have you recently changed your Apple ID country?

#images is available in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, France, Germany, Italy, India, Singapore, Philippines, and Japan.

It isn’t inexplicably: Apple - Support - System Status

Troubleshooting GIFs:

No. I am not having this issue. So, having updated, report it to Apple.

Report this to Apple:

Give Apple feedback, as I've mentioned above. If you don't provide feedback on it, they'll know nothing of it.

You may have been late to update, mine did not occur in relation to any update.

Click on the Get Support link at the top right of this page to contact Apple Support. If you scan through here several reports of this are coming in.

Don't count on it. As I said this started for me this weekend (I noticed in Sunday, and I was at least a week from having updated. Same for the people I was with. And the reports coming in today don't appear to be right after updating so it would be very difficult to fix with an update if it isn't related to one. Report it. It appears to be some sort of system server issue and not one on anybodies devices.

It would be more appropriate to contact Apple Support rather than Feedback.

I can’t load my GIFs either. Hasn’t worked since 15.3.1. I tried all of the recommended fixes: restart phone, check country, remove and reinstall—nothing.

Are you in the US? I am and I am also getting the Cannot Load Images message, started Saturday.

United States, yes I am.

I'm all over the joint on these forums.

I was asking about the region you live in and are connecting at. The other responders were helpful and it isn't just a US thing.
