Hide My Email, a feature introduced with iOS 15, enables users to create unique email addresses for different services, enhancing control over their inboxes and protecting their primary emails from advertisers. Despite its useful functionality, the feature has not seen significant improvements since its launch five years ago.
Users can generate new email addresses within certain apps, particularly Safari, but the option is limited on macOS. Suggestions for enhancing the feature include better integration with various apps and the potential to make it a part of the Passwords section, improving accessibility for users.
Additionally, enhancements to the existing iCloud Passwords extension for Chrome could allow users to generate new Hide My Email addresses directly in any email field. Custom domains for Hide My Email addresses, currently restricted to @icloud.com, could also be a valuable addition, providing users the option to manage their inboxes with more versatility.
