| Setting | What it does | When it may suit you |
|---|---|---|
| Always display external images | Loads external images automatically in messages. | You want images to appear without taking an extra step. |

Google says Gmail may ask first when it considers a sender or message suspicious. Gmail scans images for suspicious content and known harmful software, so do not treat every prompt as something to dismiss automatically. Open the message only if you trust the sender and are comfortable loading its images.
Google also says image loading cannot be used by senders to learn your computer or location, or to set or read browser cookies. However, senders may sometimes be able to tell whether an email containing an image was opened. The image-display controls and Google’s explanations are in the Gmail Help article about images.

If the email still looks blank
First make sure you changed the setting for the account and platform where the message is open. If Gmail itself is slow, failing to load, or showing an error, try these general troubleshooting checks. They may help with a broader loading problem, but do not establish the cause of any particular blank message.
- Check your connection: reconnect to the internet or try another network.
- Test the browser: update it or try another supported browser.
- Check for interference: temporarily disable extensions or applications that could affect Gmail, or try a private browsing window.
- Clear browser data: clear the cache and cookies, then reopen Gmail.
- Try another device: check whether Gmail works there.
For additional steps, consult Google’s Gmail loading and connection troubleshooting and Gmail browser requirements and supported browsers.
