Description
Section titled “Description”Hide My Email creates unique relay email addresses that forward to your real inbox. This keeps Apple Pay merchants, apps, websites, stores, newsletters, and account signups from getting your personal email address directly.
Use Hide My Email when shopping, signing up for accounts, testing services, or giving an email address to an app you do not fully trust. If an address starts getting spam, you can deactivate that relay address without changing your real email.
