Why does my Image Playground app show downloading support?

It’s been about 6 hours that when I open image playground app or genmoji I only can see page that say downloading support for image playground or genmoji . What should I do ?

@em1016 led me to a solution.


I’m in the UK - I went to Settings > General > Language & Region and changed the Region (not the language) to United States.


I then opened Playground and it worked.


I then reset the region BACK to United Kingdom and it still worked.


This seems like a bug to me - I wonder if the AI tools are going into an update mode whenever there is an update made to the US model, but it’s doing that worldwide even when the update for your region isn’t there yet, or something isn’t tying up outside the US. It would be interesting if anyone having issues is in the US.


Resetting your phone is not a solution for this problem, it’s just masking a problem that will reappear the next time an updated model shows up.

hello Naved07 mmm sounds a bit tricky? Question, did you Touch a button on a Computer or Digital phone if so if image playground is downloading Sometimg and you are Concerned about it May I suggest you just delete the image playground app Or Obviously Someone behind the scenes might be telling you to Support whatever it is Just delete the app or Turn your Computer off, Good luck

Mine has been doing the same since I updated my phone.. I deleted the app 3 times and it’s either just forcing close by itself or showing this image.. at first it wasn’t even creating anything at all just kept saying “unable”… sooo frustrating, there’s really no difference between the 16 and the 14 since none of the features want to work 🙃🙃🙃🙃

Why my iPhone stuck on this for last 6 days


Downloading support for Image Playground...


Once downloaded, this iPhone will be able to use Image Playground.


I restarted my iPhone many times

yes, my iPhone is connected to fast and stable wifi (1.5 gbs)

yes, I connected my iPhone to power

also I uninstalled playground app and reinstalled many times


non of these steps solve issue
