Apple Watch get fixes to Mail Privacy Protection feature

Apple has repaired the Mail Privacy Protection feature for its Mail Application in Apple Watch. The feature was not working appropriately and became a threat to the privacy of users. However, the company made thoughtful amendments and brings out the feature with its best use.

Let us understand what is Mail Privacy Protection?

Mail Privacy Protection

Emails are a very common medium of communication nowadays. From official to informal, many things are covered through this app. However, a drawback of this application is its privacy. Which, if not used carefully, can become a major issue. Mostly, the senders are able to grab the information of a user through their mail actions due to hidden pixels in the mail. As a result, details such as IP addresses, and other data are easily readable from the outsiders.

Mail Privacy Protection feature is a relief for the users who catch a busy schedule with their Mail Apps on Apple devices. The feature prevents the access of location from an outsider, avoids tracking, and restricts the third party to catch your actions related to an email. When enabled, the feature not only stops the intruder to track your data but also secures your IP address through multiple proxies.

Moreover, it installs the remote content and shares the proxy IP address that prevents the reveal of your location. Consequently, the sender only gets knowledge about the general info of an individual. For turning the feature on the users have to navigate Settings > Mail > Privacy Protection.

So far, according to 9to5Mac, the feature proves to be a regret for Apple watch users. But now, our content creator makes us aware of the great news for the respective smartwatch users. With the latest software WatchOS 8.5, the Apple Watch is now able to access this feature. We here have a pair of tweets that reveals both old as well as new information.
