Viewing Images on Gmail via Phone, Computer
1. Why Gmail doesn't display images
Gmail may not display images in email content because you've previously set 'ask before displaying external images' in the image section of emails. When you set this option, your dynamic email is also turned off. Additionally, Gmail may scan suspicious information in the content of emails sent to you.
2. How to view images on Gmail via phone
Requirements: update to the latest version of Gmail:
- Gmail for Android link
- Gmail for iPhone link
If you're using an Android or iPhone but can't download or view images, you need to perform the following steps to enable them again.
- Step 1: Log in to Gmail on your phone, on the main Gmail interface, tap the menu icon at the top left corner.
- Step 2: Tap on 'Settings' and select the Gmail account you want to set up.
- Step 3: In the 'data usage' section, select 'images'. On the image notification screen, choose the option 'always display external images'
3. Viewing Images on Gmail on Computer
The process of setting up automatic image viewing on Gmail via computer differs slightly from that on a phone. Here's how:
- Step 1: From the web browser on your computer, go to mail.google.com, and log in to your personal account
Alternatively, click Here for quick access
- Step 2: On the Gmail interface, click on the gear icon at the top right corner of the screen and select 'see all settings'
- Step 3: Find the 'images' section and click on the option 'Always display external images', scroll down to the bottom, press 'save changes' to save the settings on Gmail.
After setting the option to always display external images, you can easily view images in emails containing pictures sent to you. However, for an email with images that Gmail deems suspicious, you still won't automatically see the images. Instead, the screen will display a notification asking if you want to view the images, and you'll decide whether to display the images in your email content.
