This feature can render tracking data essentially useless.
If you keep MPP turned off, you’ll still be able to hide your IP address and block remote content via other toggle switches on the samescreen. These options have been available for a while, and if you turn on MPP, it’ll override them.Email senders hoping to learn about you can hide a 1-by-1-pixel image somewhere in their message, often the header or footer.
With MPP, Apple says, all remote content downloads in the background, regardless of whether you open an email or not. This renders any information gathered by those tracking pixels useless. Apple says it doesn’t learn anything about you in the process. MPP also sends all remote content, including tracking pixels, through multiple proxy servers, preventing senders from learning your IP address, which could help them nail down your location. Instead, Apple’s proxy network will randomly assign an IP address that only gives away your general region. Apple says it doesn’t access your IP address either.
So if you don’t like being watched without your consent, turn on MPP. It might only close a minuscule window, but it’ll stop the flow of a substantial amount of information.John Kennedy is PopSci's DIY editor.
