Gmail automatically displays the images in messages. If you don’t want that, you can set Gmail to ask for permission every time.
Show images after permission
For example, if someone has a slow internet connection or a limited mobile data bundle, it is better to adjust this setting. Gmail then asks each time whether an image can be shown. By the way, if Gmail finds a sender or message suspicious, the images won’t automatically display anyway. The mail program then asks if it can show the image.
