iOS Software update 26.1 and 26.2 , most images online missing

I have an IPhone 12 Pro Max and I installed IOS software version 26.1 a few days ago. I have about 120 GB of storage available. I have restarted several times. Everything seemed to be fine until I noticed that when I’m on the Internet many images are missing. Many advertisements (I’m not really bothered by that) and if I am shopping it will pull up the search results but all images are gone. So then I updated to software version 26.2 (it did not automatically come up I had to search for it). I have tried to find a solution for correcting the problem but I either can’t find anything or am not recognizing the solution when I see it. Thanks ahead of time if anyone has a solution. Terri

Possible Causes

  • Network issues: Slow or unstable Wi‑Fi/mobile data can prevent images from loading.
  • Browser settings: Safari or Chrome may have “Hide Images” or “Low Data Mode” enabled.
  • Content blockers: Ad blockers or privacy extensions sometimes block images by mistake.
  • iOS settings: “Low Data Mode” in Settings → Cellular/Wi‑Fi can restrict image downloads.
  • Cache or temporary glitch: Corrupted browser cache can cause missing images.
  • Website-side issue: Sometimes the site itself has broken image links.
