• MAILBUTLER INSTALL ON MULTIPLE DEVICED UPGRADE

Email senders can learn when and how many times you opened their email, whether you forwarded the email, your Internet Protocol (IP) address, and other data that can be used to build a profile of your behavior and learn your location. As soon as you open an email, information about your Mail activity can be collected by the sender without transparency and an ability to control what information is shared. Here's how Apple describes the feature in full:Įmails that you receive may include hidden pixels that allow the email's sender to learn information about you. When enabled, Mail Privacy Protection hides your IP address and loads all remote content privately in the background, routing it through multiple proxy services and randomly assigning an IP address.

From there, toggle on Protect Mail Activity. Tap on "Privacy Protection" and then toggle on "Protect Mail Activity." In ‌macOS Monterey‌, open up Mail, go to the Mail Preferences, and then click on Privacy.

If you're running one of these updates, you can turn it on in Settings > Mail.

Mail Privacy Protection is not enabled by default, but Apple will highlight it as an option when you upgrade to ‌iOS 15‌ or ‌iPadOS 15‌. With iOS 15, iPadOS 15, and macOS Monterey, Apple is putting a stop to email tracking with a suite of Mail Privacy Protection features. Senders can see that you've opened an email get other information, such as your IP address. Tracking pixels are hidden graphics that you might not see in an email, but your email client loads them, allowing senders to gather data from you.

Much of this tracking is facilitated by remote images that load when viewing an email, and some of it is even sneakier, with advertisers using invisible tracking pixels. Tracking when you've opened up an email and what you've read is something that many companies and advertisers rely on for their marketing efforts, plus there are email clients out there designed to let users know when the emails they've sent have been opened up.
