On iOS 12.5.5, Lockdown 1.3.4, enabling the Lockdown Firewall blocks the iMessage #images GIF search, #images shows error “Could not load results.”, and no Lockdown Block Log entry is written to indicate what is being blocked. Even after disabling all of the built in Block Lists, #images remains blocked, so it appears that it’s inherent to the VPN in use for the firewall. The firewall needs to be completely disabled for #images to work. No other VPN’s or firewalls are active or installed.
