Since the upgrade to iOS 10.2, #images shows the message "Could not load results." everytime I attempt to use it. Up to the point where I upgraded, I was able to see and use the images and gifs here. I live in the U.S., and everything is turned on in the Appstore to allow this. What's missing?
iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 10.2
Manually add or remove apps that you download
If you turn on Automatically Add Apps in the Manage tab, your iMessage apps automatically go to your app drawer when you download them. If you turn off Automatically Add Apps, you can manually add apps to your app drawer. You can also manually remove them. Here’s how:
- Open the app drawer and tap
.
- Tap the Manage tab.
- Turn on the app to add it to your app drawer. Turn it off to remove it.
Jay I tried your suggestion changing to US rebooting iPhone then reverting back to the UK but sadly it didn't work.
I seem to have another issue every time I try to tap the helpful box (which I want to do!!) it gets me to sign in then once signed it I cannot highlight the helpful box! Nothing happens ! But thank you for your help!
Btw when I try to install Giphy why does it say "buy"??
Both me & my wife have iPhone 6s here in Canada.
We are both properly updated to iOS 10.3.2
The search window in #images stopped working (nothing would come up in searches at all, just blank)
So we proceeded to change our 'Language & Region' setting to United States & it started working again.
Apple, please fix this bug.
As I'm not sure if by changing our 'Language & Region' setting to United States will run us afoul of any other parameters while we're on our Canadian cellphone carrier.
I hope not.
When i spoke to yesterday i obviously explained i found this as a workaround, and they confirmed it will change some time settings, calendars and a few words will seem strange when typing.
So UK spell COLOUR - US spell COLOR, things like that.
Thanks
Jay
Is it asking for you to verify your payment details? That is normal, but if the app is showing free and you get charged just contact iTunes store support for refund a nightmare i know but it happens to me when i haven't downloaded or purchased anything for a while?
I had the same issue where no search results were shown, and the fix for me was to go into Settings/Messages then turn off iMessage and then turn it back on.
I went back into iMessage and could then search and get results!
Hope this works for anyone else with this problem.
I live in NZ and had the same issue just recently. I read through these replies and changed my "Language" in my settings to English US and it now works. Maybe try changing this to other English language options to see if this will change it?
Jay who posted on May 30 has the workout around for it and it actually works! I switched my region (Settings -> General -> Language & Region -> Region) to USA, checked to see if my #images worked in iMessage and then switched it back to Canada. My #images tab still worked once I switched back.
The Short Message Service that allows gifs to be uploaded and sent through the iPhone's native messages app has stopped working on my iPhone 7. When I try to select any gifs to include in a message I get "Could not find any suggestions" and then it provides two hyperlinked suggestions. So far "Food", "Sorry" and "iPhone" have been the only suggestions, which lead to "could not find any suggestions" error messages.f course this is not
Of course this is not a malicious hack being perpetrated by somebody intent on upsetting me or causing me to feel overtly anxious, it is just highly coincidental.
I am not sure if anyone ever figured this out but I got mine to work by going to Settings, General, Keyboard, then I clicked on Keyboards which then brought up English and Emoji. I selected Edit in the top right corner and hit the red delete button beside Emoji. Then I went back in to Add New Keyboard and scrolled down to Emoji and clicked on it. After I did all this I turned my phone off and back on (not sure if it was needed). I went into my messages and was able to use the GIFs
So when I try to send a gif, it just loads forever and when I select one it gives me an error saying “Could not share image. The internet appears to be off.” I clearly have internet because all my other apps work.
Are you trying to use this over cellular network (rather than wifi)? And if so, do you have cellular data turned on for all apps? (Check that #images is enabled to use cellular data: Settings>Cellular>HashtagImages)
Edit: I see that someone has already suggested this at the bottom of the thread.
I’ve found the solution myself.
It says “the connection appears to be offline” when I searched for a GIFs image.
So what I did was, I figured to turn on any possible apps data that I turned off. And I found “HashtagImage”
So, go to Settings > Mobile Data > Turn on “Hashtag Image”.
Happy to send GIFs without WiFi!
Problem solved 😊
Thank you. Unfortunately, following your instructions did not cause the #images feature to begin working again.
What do you recommend if I have gone through the above mentioned steps and the #images feature in iMessage still no longer function?
Cheers!
I am having the same issue...not having any luck getting it working :(
Messages #images says "Could not load results."
