Enable iCloud Photos or My Photo Stream
If you’re experiencing issues with the #Images feature on your iPhone, one of the first steps you should take is to ensure that iCloud Photos or My Photo Stream is enabled on your device. These features allow you to seamlessly access and sync your photos across all of your Apple devices. Here’s how you can enable them:
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
- Tap on your name at the top of the screen to access your Apple ID settings.
- Scroll down and tap on “Photos”.
- Make sure that the “iCloud Photos” or “Upload to My Photo Stream” toggle is turned on.
Enabling iCloud Photos will automatically upload and store all your photos in iCloud, allowing you to access them from any device with your Apple ID. On the other hand, My Photo Stream allows you to view and sync the most recent 30 days’ worth of photos across all your devices without taking up additional iCloud storage.
By enabling either of these features, you give your iPhone the ability to efficiently manage and display your images in the #Images app. This can often resolve any issues you may be experiencing with the feature not working on your device.
Check Cellular Data and Wi-Fi Connection
When you encounter difficulties with the #Images feature on your iPhone, it’s important to ensure that you have a stable internet connection. The #Images app relies on a reliable cellular data or Wi-Fi connection to load and display images. Here are some steps to check your connection:
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
- Tap on “Wi-Fi” or “Mobile Data” depending on the type of connection you’re using.
- Make sure the toggle is switched on for the respective connection and that you have a strong signal.
- If you’re connected to a Wi-Fi network, ensure that you have entered the correct password and that the network is stable.
- If you’re using cellular data, ensure that you have an active data plan and that you’re in an area with good signal coverage.
If you have confirmed that your cellular data or Wi-Fi connection is working properly, but you’re still experiencing issues with the #Images feature, try toggling the Wi-Fi or cellular data off and on again, or connect to a different network to see if the problem persists.
By ensuring a stable internet connection, you provide the necessary environment for the #Images app to function correctly on your iPhone. This simple step can often help resolve any problems with the feature not working as intended.

By restarting your iPhone, you allow its operating system to shut down and restart, which can often resolve temporary software issues affecting the #Images feature. After the restart, launch the #Images app again to see if it’s working as expected.
If you have an iPhone model that doesn’t have a physical power button, such as the iPhone X or later, you can follow these steps to restart your device:
- Press and hold either the volume up or volume down button together with the side button.
- Release the buttons when the “Slide to power off” slider appears.

Resetting all settings can help resolve any conflicts or misconfigurations that may have been affecting the #Images feature. This includes both system settings and app-specific settings that may have been inadvertently changed.
However, please note that this action will not delete any of your personal data, such as photos, videos, or apps. It simply resets the settings to their original state, providing a fresh starting point for troubleshooting.
