Gmail users on iPhone can finally block the automatic display of images. The latest update on the App Store introduces an option for those who want to prevent their messages from being viewed by unauthorized parties or unnecessary recipients. To activate this mode, go to Settings, select your account, navigate to the Images section, and then choose 'Ask before displaying external images.' Android users have had access to this option for a while now.

Even if you've been using Gmail for a while and remember when Gmail used to ask for permission before loading images from external sources, you may not realize that they actually stopped this practice back in 2013. That's when email service providers began to trim down the display of attached files to prevent the spread of malware. Instead, Gmail opted to display images through Google's proxy server. As a result, all images are displayed automatically. Unless you opt to block random image displays, the blue text with the content 'Display images below' will be removed from Gmail's interface.
Disabling the option to automatically load images not only matters when you want to prevent tracking but also proves very effective when your network connection is slow or unsafe. This ensures that your emails load faster, use less data, and even save battery for your device. If you're looking for these benefits, install the latest version of the Gmail app and disable the option to display images automatically. Black-and-white emails with mostly text content are waiting for you ahead. Sign up for Gmail now to own a Gmail account for sending and receiving emails as well as using many other Google services.
