How Apple’s Email Privacy Will Affect Email Marketing?
As we wrote the previous week, Apple’s session at the WWDC 2021 was surprising for everyone, especially the security part, which had important updates.
One of the most important updates was the “Hide My Mail” feature that the company announced.
When users decide to hide their email, the feature secures the mail opening data, opens time data, and enables links with pixels. Furthermore, we know that Google is working on a similar feature for Chrome called WebID, which is widely discussed in W3C circles.
In the lights of all those updates, the digital marketing field seems to have a huge change
As marketers, we know that email marketing has a high ROI. But it seems that working on the lifetime value of a user or a client would be the safest and gaining strategy to follow.

Android App Bundle Will Be Obligatory For The New Apps
With Android App Bundle, developers will publish their apps in a 15% smaller size than the APK format.
Google aims to deliver better apps to more users while also focusing on current Android distribution that benefits all developers. They hope that Android App Bundle will eventually change the APK to the usual publishing format. Even today, some apps are using app bundles, including Twitter, Netflix, and Adobe.
New Microsoft Store with Windows 11
Good news!: With Amazon App Store support, Android apps also took their place in the Windows Store.
According to Microsoft, Windows 11 is the most secure Windows operating system. Meanwhile, we know that the company is still working on the security updates for Windows 10.
