With macOS Monterey, Apple\u2019s iCloud+ <\/strong>adds some new premium features, including Hide My Email. It allows you generate random email addresses when you fill out an online form or sign up for a website. This means you don’t have to give out your real address if you don\u2019t want to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What you\u2019ll need<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To use Hide My Email, you\u2019ll have to subscribe to one of Apple\u2019s iCloud plans. All paid iCloud plans<\/a> are eligible, as are shared family iCloud plans or ones purchased through a shared Apple One subscription. iCloud pricing ranges from $2.99\/month for the 50GB plan to $9.99\/month for 2TB family plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hide My Email also allows you to create and delete as many addresses as needed at any time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To use Hide My Email<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u00b0 Go to Systems Preferences and click your Apple ID<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b0 Select Hide My Email.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Select Hide My Email<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u00b0 Click Options. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b0 Click \u201cCreate New Address.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Select Create New Address.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u00b0Apple will automatically generate an email address. If you\u2019re happy with it, click Continue. If you don\u2019t like it, click Use Different Address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b0 You can add a Label (work, home, church, etc.) that describes the new address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After you\u2019ve used \u201cHide My Email\u201d for a while, you can view a list of all the email addresses you’ve created with their labels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b0 Tap any of email items to see the label and where it\u2019s being forwarded to. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b0 Tap Label to change the name. Or tap Note to add any notes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To delete one of the email addresses, tap Deactivate Email Address. A pop-up box will let you confirm your choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b0 Tap Deactivate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can later reactive the address by going to the Inactive Addresses list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One note: the iCloud+ Hide My Email feature is different from a similarly named feature of \u201cSign In With Apple.” (The tech giant really needs to get its naming game together.) In addition to two \u201cHide My Emails,\u201d it has three Apple TV products\/services (the set-top box, the app, and the \u201c+\u201d streaming service), and two MagSafes (the charging tech for iPhones and the former \u2014 and perhaps future \u2014 detachable power cord for Mac laptops.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
