MacRumors • • technology
Key Points:
- Apple has decided not to change the email domain for its iCloud+ Hide My Email feature, keeping it on the existing icloud.com domain instead of moving to private.icloud.com.
- The initial plan to unify email domains under private.icloud.com faced user concerns that it would make Hide My Email aliases easier to block by platforms.
- Sign in with Apple email addresses will switch to the private.icloud.com domain later this year, replacing privaterelay.appleid.com, but Hide My Email addresses will remain unchanged.
- Developers are advised to update their systems to accept the new private.icloud.com domain for Sign in with Apple to ensure uninterrupted service.
- Hide My Email is a paid iCloud feature allowing users to create unique, disposable email addresses that forward to their real email, protecting their privacy.
