Facebook Messenger is one of the most popular messaging apps around, but it doesn’t always work properly.
Facebook Messenger has been around since 2011, and is now used by more than a billion people. The app has many features, including the ability to send and receive photos. However, Facebook Messenger can be frustrating at times as it doesn’t always work properly. There are several reasons why you might not be able to see photos in Facebook Messenger and we’re going to look at some of the most common ones below.
Why can’t I see photos in Facebook Messenger?
If you’re unable to see photos in Facebook Messenger there could be a number of reasons for this. Firstly, if you’re using an older version of the app (for example if you haven’t updated since 2014) then this could be one cause of your problem. The other main reason why you might not be able to see photos in Facebook Messenger is because they have been blocked by your internet provider or mobile service provider.
Why are my pictures blocked on Facebook?
“We’re sorry – Your images aren’t loading because they may contain nudity or mature content.”
“This content may include nude or partially nude people, people engaging in sexual acts, and close-ups of fully clothed genitals.”
In 2018, a law was passed that required all websites with adult content to have a compulsory age checker before allowing users access to their site. This means that anyone wishing to view any form of adult content online will have their age checked before being allowed access. Although this law was intended for pornographic sites like PornHub and xHamster, it also applies to social media sites such as Twitter and Instagram.
It’s important that users know what they’re getting themselves into when viewing these sites online. For example on Twitter there is often sexually explicit language used by accounts who may not necessarily want children viewing them.
Although these restrictions are put in place for good reason (to prevent children from viewing adult material), there have been numerous reports that adults are also having trouble accessing the websites they want.
In order for adults wishing to view adult content online through social media platforms such as Twitter and Instagram they must first verify their age through an age checker website.
The problem with this however is that there isn’t just one website that checks your age – instead many different websites do it.
Each website has different terms & conditions which means users need to sign up individually for each site.
So even if someone wants access to one site only (for example xHamster), they still need to sign up individually with all other sites including PornHub & YouPorn etc…before being granted access.
