So we can create a Hide my email address on our iPhone, iPad or Mac

With the amount of emails we already receive on a daily basis, it is important to consider who we give our address to. With this simple idea in mind Apple offers us Hide my emailaddresses in which we can receive all the messages we want without having to give our real address.

An address to protect us from spam

Thanks to the fact that we register, subscribe or communicate through an address that is nothing more than an alias, at all times we can deactivate it to no longer receive communications. So, if it happens that we receive spam at this address, we simply disable this specific email from Hide my email to permanently resolve the situation.

Creating a Hide My Email address is super easy. We have already seen how to do it directly in the Mail application of our iPhone, iPad or Mac. So let’s see, how to create one directlywithout resorting to Mail messages. The steps to follow on our iPhone or iPad are as follows:

1. We open the application Settings on our iPhone or iPad.
2. At the top, we play on our behalf.
3. we touch iCloud.
4. We entered hide my email.
5. we touch Create a new address.
6. We write a label, to identify it.
7. We press following.
8. we touch Accept.

It’s easy. On Mac, the process is quite similar, except that we will do it from System Preferences. The exact steps to follow are:

1. In the Apple () menu, we choose System Preferences
   .
2. We entered Apple ID.
3. we touch Choice just to the right of hide my email.
4. Click the “+” under the list in the left half of the window.
5. We write a label, to identify it.
6. We press Continue.
7. we touch Accept.

In both cases, the result will be exactly the same. Also keep in mind that hide my email addresses are tied to our Apple ID, which means we can create one from any of our devices and receive the messages in each of them.

Since we’re on the topic, it’s a good time to mention that although the system appears to only work for incoming emails, since that’s actually its main function, also works for outgoing

The system is able to detect the situation and, with this, it is our own iCloud that receives the mail that we have sent and sends it to the final recipient from our Hide my email address. So if at any time we need to establish communication, we will always do so. keep our real email address safe of any spam.
