This has been around for loooong time. It's nothing new. Not a single major email provider auto displays images for this reason. That's why users have to click a button to show images since many years ago.

If the setting you mentioned is on then the user must have enabled it.

Well, that’s false.

I have outlook (both personal and work), gmail (both personal and school), comcast, and email apps on my phone. On every single client, whether in-browser or mobile app, I have to click "load images" when I open an email or they won't load. It's been like this for years. Idk if the iPhone email app is different since I have a Galaxy but I imagine not. I admit I'm assuming this feature is disabled by default purely based on my anecdotal evidence though.

Outlook is the only platform I’ve used that doesn’t automatically download images.
