Posting photos: parsing response failure

[lovingkindness]

Hello
I have tried to post a photo without sucess. I keep getting the response 'parsing response failure'. Do I need to alter something?

Cheers

Did you try to attach it as a file? That usually works but it is a good idea to attach it as a thumbnail.

I'm no IT Guru, but after a brief bit of reserach....
Are you using a VPN?
That can cause this error I think.
Or checking 'hide my IP' on your browser.
Of course I could be totally wrong.........

Thanks for your responses.

No, i am not trying to load the photo using 'attach a file'.

I always click on th 'picture' icon in the menu. Then on the box which appears. Then choose my photo, click, done. Then I click 'thumbnail'. This has always worked in the past. Today is the first time it hasn't.

Four times I have tried. The photo loads to 70%- 90% then fails. With 'Parsing response failure' Appearing.

Cheers

Is the photo a very large file? If you are on mobile, are you using the app or the web version?

Use the attach a file option.
Then it will let you put the photo inline as a full photo or a thumbnail.

I was google this and it seems it is related to a feature that iPhones have (in Safari) related to hiding your IP address Using iCloud Private Relay. It seems to work if you turn this off... you might not want to turn this off, but if you do there are some instructions here:

How to Hide IP Address on Your iPhone

There are many ways to hide your iPhone's IP address from trackers and websites. Your IP can be used to track you online and for ad targeting.
