Here's how Apple could make its Hide My Email feature even better for iCloud+ users
9to5Mac • • technology
Key Points:
- Apple’s Hide My Email, introduced in iOS 15 as part of iCloud+, allows users to create alternative email addresses for services to protect their primary email and control inbox access, but the feature has seen limited development over five years.
- The feature is primarily accessible through settings and limited app integrations, with sparse support on macOS, suggesting a need for easier access possibly through integration with the Passwords app.
- Apple’s iCloud Passwords extension for Chrome has improved, but currently lacks the ability to generate Hide My Email addresses in email fields, a functionality available in Safari, highlighting an opportunity for better cross-browser support.
- A suggested enhancement includes support for custom email domains in Hide My Email, allowing users to create aliases with their own domains linked to iCloud, which could improve personalization while maintaining control over inbox management.
