How to Use Apple's Hide My Email Feature on iPhone for Privacy

Understanding Hide My Email

• 💡 Hide My Email on Apple iOS 26 allows you to keep your personal email address private by generating unique, hidden email addresses.
• ⚠️ A key limitation is that you generally cannot use a hidden address for new, outgoing emails from scratch.

Replying with a Hidden Email Address

• 📬 To reply to an existing email using a hidden address, open the Mail app and navigate to the inbox.
• ↩️ Select the email you wish to reply to, tap the 'Reply' option, and then choose the hidden email address from the sender selection menu.

Sending New Emails with Hide My Email (Limited Functionality)

• ✍️ When composing a new email, you can select a hidden email address as the sender, but this functionality might be limited or require specific setup.
• 👤 Access the 'From' field in the new email composition screen and select your desired hidden email address from the available options.
