Remote images in emails can affect your privacy. These images are not included in the email itself — instead, they’re downloaded from the internet when you open the message. When this happens, the sender may learn:
- When you opened the email
- What app or device you are using
- Your approximate location
Blocking remote images prevents senders from tracking this information without your consent.
Why Blocking Remote Images Helps
Blocking remote images protects your privacy by stopping hidden tracking pixels and external content from automatically loading.
You stay in control of what information is shared, and you can always choose to load images manually if you trust the sender.
