- It’s worth ruling out any internet-related issues before troubleshooting Safari or your iPhone.
- If images are not loading across all websites, there may be an issue with one of your extensions.
- You can try clearing browsing data or resetting Safari settings if the issue persists.
Fix 1: Disable Content Blocker Extensions

Step 1: Open the Settings app, scroll down, and tap on Safari .
Step 2: Go to Extensions and turn off all your extensions one by one.
Fix 2: Ensure JavaScript Is Enabled

Step 1: Launch the Settings app on your iPhone and go to Safari .
Step 2: Scroll down to tap Advanced and turn on the toggle for JavaScript .
Fix 3: Turn off Content Restrictions
The Screen Time feature on your iPhone can come in handy when you want to impose content restrictions on apps. If you’ve previously enabled this feature, Safari may fail to load web pages or specific content on those web pages. Disable these restrictions and see if that makes a difference.
Step 1: Open the Settings app and navigate to Screen Time .
Step 2: Tap Content & Privacy Restrictions and turn off the toggle for the same in the following menu.
Fix 4: Clear Browsing Data
Overwhelming or corrupt Safari browsing data can also affect Safari’s performance on your iPhone. Here’s how to clear it out and start with a fresh slate.
Step 1: Open the Settings app and scroll down to tap on Safari .
Step 2: Tap Clear History and Website Data . Choose All history and tap Clear History to confirm.
If Safari won’t load any images after clearing the browsing data, update your iPhone to the latest iOS version as a last resort.
