How to Stop auto images load on Gmail

I am a regular "Gmail" user and from last 2-3 weeks I am facing a problem because of Google's new Gmail update of displaying images automatically in your E-mails in Gmail mail account, no matter your account is newly opened or older one.

Automatic image loading can be annoying for some of us in many ways but there is also a security reason too behind it "Why most of e-mail providers disable automatic image load".
That is because images are store on 3rd party server and that could be a security loop hole and it can revel your private information to sender or anyone else who want to trap you. This could include your actual location or IP address, computer details or time when you read email and that could be plus point in many ways to the 3rd party and there are many more reasons why some users don't liked the new automatically image loading features are:-
  • Low bandwidth.
  • Limited data plan, when I use metered connection some automatically popping up ads and download eats up my data pack and same in case of emails high quality images also kill your data plan.
There is a smart and simple solution for it is available by adjusting your Gmail box settings, we can disable auto images load from settings easily by disabling showing external content.
Here is a step by step tutorial How you can Disable/Stop auto images load on Gmail:-
  1. Go to your Gmail Settings from Right side of your Gmail.Screenshot_122613_035443_PM
