Web Search and Grey Boxes

Post by jstevens »

When searching the Web from my cell phone the web page returns grey boxes where pictures should be. I don't recall changing any setting on the cell phone. I have cleared cache, powered off/on the phone and only have the browser app open. No other apps are running.

Any ideas as to why?
Regards,
John

Is you phone an Android or iOS device? Not that I can help you I'm a phone dinosaur, I don't have a smart phone but I suspect that will be the first question others will ask.

And are you using Safari, or another browser?

Let's see if we have other iOS/Safari users...

Hans,

I changed the "Block Cookies" setting from "Always Block to Allow from Websites I Visit".

I can now see pictures where there were grey blocks.

Ah! You must have changed that setting before. Could it have been synchronized from another device?
Best wishes,
