Facebook images not loading on mac os Chrome and Safari. I found a solution

Do you have this problem? After Facebook loads on Safari in your macbook browsers, all of the images are blank boxes. I found the solution: after trying everything else, I turned on my VPN and now everything is working just fine.

Now can some explain to me why is that, and how do I fix it so I do not have to use the VPN?

MacBook Pro 17″, macOS 10.13

I can not reproduce your issue. You give no details beyond you immediate issue


I see a reference—

As of July 2022, the only countries to continually ban access to the social networking site are China, Iran, North Korea, Myanmar, Russia, Turkmenistan and Uganda.




You can Try a different browser and compare your results.



To trouble shoot further you can:


—A SafeBoot Use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support will sort many anomalies


Does a quick disk repair before it fully boots up, and certain system caches get cleared and rebuilt, third party system modifications and system accelerations are disabled.

Login and test. Reboot as normal and test. Caches get rebuilt automatically.


This test will tell you if third party interference; most* extensions etc are not loaded in safe boot mode.



—Test issue in another user (or guest user) account Change Users & Groups settings on Mac - Apple Support

This will tell you if it a universal issue or isolated to your user/admin account. 







unplug all third party peripherals when testing


Uninstall all third party apps that are Cleaners/Optimizers/Anti-Virus...

all known to cause issues on the macOS
