### Understanding machine opens
55+
56+
Machine opens occur when an email client automatically opens an email, giving the impression that a user opened your email even if they haven’t.
57+
58+
Segment tracks machine opens and subtracts them from the total number of opened emails. Segment displays this number in the **True Opened** tile, which gives a more reliable count of how many real users opened your campaign.

Hover over the **True Opened** tile for any campaign to see a full comparison of machine opens and true opens.
