![]() Don't Miss: Easily Record Phone Calls for Free from Your iPhone or Android Phone Using Google Voice.While I focus on email tracking from an iOS and iPadOS perspective, many services also support Android, macOS, Windows, and any web browser. If you don't like the idea of being tracked yourself, I've added a section at the bottom with details on how to evade read receipt trackers too. Canary MailĬanary Mail is the email client I use for daily emails, and it just happens to support read receipts. While I'm not positive why it's named Canary Mail, there's a cybersecurity term called canary tokens that tracks data with a hidden fingerprint of sorts, and that's how Canary Mail implements read receipts - using an invisible image. Read receipts in Canary Mail is a paid feature, so unless you're grandfathered in for free from the early days or subscribe to the Setapp suite, it costs $2.99 monthly or $19.99 annually. But tracking which emails are opened that you sent is just one of the many helpful pro features, and there's always a 30-day free trial to try things out before you commit to a subscription. ![]() With a paid subscription, "Read Receipts" is enabled by default, but you can toggle it on or off via the in-app composing preferences whenever you want. If enabled, any time you send an email, an invisible image with tracking data is sent with it. When the email is opened, Canary Mail will send you a notification to inform you when it happened.Ĭanary Mail's read-receipt implementation prioritizes privacy - Canary only shows when and if an email is read. Canary does not collect or present any associated metadata such as IP addresses, location or device info, how many times an email is opened, etc. If you miss the notification, you will see checkmarks next to the email in your "Sent" mailbox if Canary Mail could determine that the recipient opened it. You can also open the Canary Mail Dashboard to see a section devoted to "Read Receipts," highlighting the message and when it was opened.
