Yes! You can find it in the settings menu. It’s not super obvious. But without it, you might miss out on important pics.
What a hassle! You might also want to check if your Wi-Fi connection is stable. It could be the reason why attachments aren’t loading properly.
Thanks for the heads up! I feel like my settings are a mess. I’ll definitely check that out right now.
It’s also worth noting to clear the app cache. Sometimes that can solve issues too. Just go to your phone settings and find Gmail in the apps list.
This is so frustrating! I rely on these photos for work. Have you checked if your device is on battery saver mode? It might restrict certain features.

Also, check your Gmail settings for ‘Low Data Usage’. Sometimes, when you’re using mobile data, it may not download pictures automatically.
Seriously, it’s like solving a mystery! Is it that hard to just have pictures download automatically? Come on, Google!
Haha, right? It should just work! But these settings exist for a reason I guess. Still, annoying!
I really appreciate all this information! I will check everything mentioned here. Fingers crossed it helps! 
I had the same issue a while back. One of the first things to check is if your device has enough storage space. If it’s full, downloads can fail.
That’s definitely a good start! I also noticed that outdated software can cause compatibility issues that prevent downloads.
You might want to check for a Gmail app update in the Play Store. Sometimes, they fix bugs related to downloads.

Don’t forget to clear the cache for the Gmail app. It can help with various glitches, including download issues.
Great tip! I did that, and it worked for me! Sometimes it’s all about keeping things tidied up.

I had a similar situation, but I realized my Android version was too outdated. Make sure your OS is up to date!

Exactly! Sometimes the latest app features just don’t work on older software.
It could also be a file format issue. If the pictures are in a format that your device can’t read, that might be a problem.

Good point! Always double-check those formats. It’s annoying when everything else works but the pictures won’t download!

Don’t stress out! Sometimes it’s just a quirky bug. Try restarting your device, that worked for me when I had issues.
