Many of the emails that you receive in your inbox will include pictures embedded within them. These pictures may simply be decorative but, in many cases, they are a crucial element of seeing the email in the manner that the sender intended. So if you are noticing that you don’t see any images in the emails that you receive in your iPhone’s default Mail application, then it could be affecting your ability to effectively use the information in those messages. Luckily there is a setting for the Mail app on your iPhone called “Load Remote Images” that you can enable which will allow those images to be shown when you open your emails.
