Images, tracking pixels and suspicious links

Account & privacy

Newton blocks the tracking pixels it recognizes in the email you receive. These tiny hidden images tell a sender when you open their email. You can also hide all remote images until you choose to load them.

Steps

Desktop

  1. Open Settings: press ⌘, on Mac, or Ctrl+, on Windows and Linux.
  2. Go to the General tab.
  3. Under Images & Privacy, set Load remote images to Always, Ask or Never.
  4. Switch Block tracking pixels on or off.

When images are hidden, an email shows Images are hidden to protect your privacy. Click Load images to show them in that email.

iPhone, iPad & Android

  1. Open the menu and tap the Settings gear at the bottom.
  2. Tap General.
  3. Under Privacy, set Remote images to Always, Ask or Never.
  4. Switch Block tracking pixels on or off.

When images are hidden, an email shows Images hidden for privacy. Tap Load to show them in that email.

Web

  1. Sign in at account.newtonhq.com and open Reading.
  2. Under Images & Privacy, set Load remote images to Always, Never or Ask.
  3. Switch Block tracking pixels on or off.

Good to know

  • By default, remote images load (Always) and tracking pixels are blocked.
  • Today, Ask and Never work the same way: images stay hidden until you load them in that email.
  • Loading images never loads the blocked tracking pixels. The email shows how many were blocked, for example "2 tracking pixels blocked".
  • Before you open a link that uses an IP address, a link shortener or an unusual domain, Newton warns you with Suspicious Link Detected on desktop or Suspicious Link on phones. Choose Open anyway only if you trust it.
