fixed with this code:

 public async Task<ImageSource> LoadImages()
        {
            var webClient = new WebClient();
            var stroageImage = await new FirebaseStorage("foodymood-ba7aa.appspot.com")
                .Child("Users/" + Settings.LastUserID)
                .Child("ProfileImage.jpg")
                .GetDownloadUrlAsync();
            string imgurl = stroageImage;
            byte[] imgBytes = webClient.DownloadData(imgurl);
            //string img = Convert.ToBase64String(imgBytes);
            var img = ImageSource.FromStream(() => new MemoryStream(imgBytes));
            return img;
        }
