Will you like to keep your email address private on your Apple iOS and iPadOS device? Apple Hide My Email feature will help you ensure your email address is secured. Here, we have explained how to use Hide My Email on iPhone and iPad.
The Hide My Email feature was initially introduced in 2019 by Apple to allow you to use random email addresses. It is a feature in iOS 15 and iPadOS 15 as an extension to the existing sign in with Apple products. Hide My Email is a service that can be used using an Apple ID.
With Hide My Email, you can hide your email address, allowing you to keep it private. Apple devices can now share unique, random email addresses, which can be used on websites and apps while signing up with their email address.
These randomly generated addresses forward emails sent to them to your mailbox with the privilege to delete them when you feel like it. The hide My Email feature works on iPhone and iPad and can also be accessed directly from Safari, Mail, and iCloud settings.
