Introducing the Apple Audience Report: How Many of Your Subscribers Use Apple Mail?

Categories

Have you heard of a not-so-little thing called Mail Privacy Protection? When Apple Mail users opt in to that, it prevents email senders from seeing who opens, time of open, geolocation data, and the specific device used. As you might have already guessed, it will have major repercussions for email marketing. And it goes live as early as next month.

Breathe. Evaluate. Plan. You’ve got this.

Before you start scrambling, pause and first see what your personal impact is. No need to crunch the numbers—we’ve got you covered with the automated Apple Audience Report in Litmus Email Analytics.

Get a personalized breakdown of your Apple Mail audience

The new Apple Mail Audience Report packages up all the info you need to assess where you stand today:

  • How much of your audience uses Apple Mail
  • Subscribers’ Apple OS versions and devices
  • Apple Dark Mode usage

Apple Audience Report in Litmus Email Analytics

Your report is based on the last 90 days of activity tracked with Litmus Email Analytics tracking codes—and continues to evolve as you send more tracked emails until Mail Privacy Protection goes into effect. So, you always have the most up-to-date measure of the potential impact Apple’s Mail Privacy Protection may have on your email program.

And with this information? Quickly and easily build a baseline of engagement insights that can be used to plan and test new strategies that’ll work in this next era of email marketing. For example:

  • Create a reliable opens audience for non-Apple Mail users as a proxy for measuring email performance, monitoring deliverability, and more.
  • Estimate what your inflated open rate may look like (and then work backwards after the fact to get a good guess of your pre-Mail Privacy Protection open rate).
  • Optimize email design and development for the email clients—including Dark Mode—and reading environments (e.g., mobile vs. desktop) your subscribers use most.

Even after Mail Privacy Protection goes into effect, the report remains useful as a historical snapshot of your Apple Mail audience.
