gmail launched an extremely useful function in the application for mobile phones that many people have been waiting for for some time, but finally we have a welcome change. In a completely surprising way, those from Google have implemented in the Gmail application for iPhone a function that allows the elimination of the monitoring of the reading of emails by blocking the loading of external images that are attached by senders.
Some of you probably don't know, but although Gmail doesn't send read confirmations for emails, some services allow reading monitoring by attaching an image, usually transparent, to the sender's signature. When that image is uploaded by the person reading the email, the sender receives a confirmation that the email has been read, and Gmail is going to eliminate this practice.
Gmail Finally Brings an Extremely Useful Function to Phones
Gmail will ask users, every time an external image is attached to an email, if they want to display that image, and implicitly upload it from the external server, which would also confirm that the email has been read. If the user refuses to confirm its upload, then the sender will have no way to know that the email was read by the person who received it, and this is a very good measure of Gmail for its users.
Gmail already has the option available in the settings menu of the application for iPhone phones, so you can already block the monitoring of emails read on phones, so no one will know when you read them or not. The function has been offered for a long time in Gmail in the web version, so the change is now coming to iPhones to bring more privacy here as well, and if you haven't activated it somewhere, I recommend you do it right now.
