Why Does My iPhone Say “Unable to Load Content Privately?”

Apple debuted a security and privacy feature in iOS 15 designed to prevent advertisers from tracking you via email. Mail Privacy Protection hides your device’s IP address. Then marketers can’t learn your physical location or connect your device’s IP address to your other online activities to build an advertising profile of you. Mail Privacy Protection can interfere with images and other email items loading correctly in some cases. Interference mostly happens when you’re using Mail Privacy Protection and a VPN or iCloud Private Relay. In that situation, if the images and other content can’t be loaded in a way that preserves your privacy, the “unable to load content privately” error appears, and the content doesn’t load.
