Missing photos in iPhone 17 selling group posts

I have just got iphone17 and migrated my data. On my selling groups none of the photos are showing just the text? Any ideas how to fix this?

I'm sorry that I don't know much about this-- maybe someone will come along who does. I think that I would be tempted to make the whole thing an image and upload that. Here, I've taken a screenshot, including some picture things, as an example.

When you send a picture, do you know what format, jpg, heic, png, etc, that it's in? It may be that the phone is generating heic images and the web site doesn't accept those. You may want to check Settings>apps>Photos>Transfer and see if it's set to Automatic or Keep Originals.


Are your pictures taken with the phone? If so, look at Settings>Camera>Formats and choose Most Compatible rather than High Efficiency. "High Efficiency" is a newer (well 10 years old) and better format, but some places still don't accept it. So if you choose "Most Compatible" and also "Keep Originals," it may work better for your uploads.

Aaaah! I'd try using Chrome (in the App store) to see if it's a problem with Safari. I don't use Chrome on my phone, but I occasionally use it on my iPad to check things.


You should also look in Settings>apps>Safari and see fi the settings change anything. There's "Block Pop Ups," for instance, that might reject Facebook's stuff. Turn it on or off just to see if it matters. You could try other things.


Since Facebook isn't an Apple Product, you may need to contact people there, since your problem is with their content.


Let us know what you find…

I don't think I know what "On my selling groups none of the photos are showing just the text" means. Are these pictures in the Photos app? Did you put text on them with Markup? Are your "selling groups" web sites? How did these picture get there? Details are important here.


 A forced restart is like this:

Force restart iPhone - Apple Support

This is different from a simple Power Off. I had to continue holding the button down past the "slide to power off" message, and then I released the button only after the Apple Logo appeared indicating a re-start.

Sorry but it not photos that I have unloaded, it’s photos in my Facebook feed that others have unloaded and I can’t see. It’s happening to a few of my groups. So that Taking shape post, that person is advertising a piece of clothing with a photo which I use to be able to see but now I can’t- also happening to a travel group I belong to
