“Couldn't Load Preview.” error for photos on my iPhone 13 Paper app
No images will load in Paper app on my iPhone 13. All works fine on my Mac computer using Safari . The message is “Couldn't Load Preview.”

Hi Everybody,
Thanks for letting us know it's working again! Our engineering team recently implemented a fix for previews in the mobile Paper app.
Your feedback on the lack of updates on this issue is duly noted. We can't always share information on how a fix is progressing, and we do try to provide updates wherever we can.
Thanks,
Ben

Whenever I view paper dropbox documents on my phone the images all fail to load. the images appear as the "Couldn't load preview" box with the retry button (retry doesn't work).
It's been like this for a couple of weeks now.
Even if you add the image to the document from the phone itself, the image switches to the "Couldn't load preview" after it is fully uploaded.

My pictures just started loading in the Paper app on my iPhone! The problem seems fixed! Is this real? What happened?

It's fixed for me as well! 😲
- jojowales5 months agoHelpful | Level 5Yep fixed here too. 😁
Well done to the guys that fixed it. 👍
Next time please try to keep us in the loop a little more. Im sure I'm not the only one that was feeling pissed off and forgotten when just an occasional update would have helped a lot.
