La second beta for iOS 15.2 developers is already among us. Not only iOS but we can also enjoy the second beta of macOS Monterey 12.1 and other operating systems of the big apple. There are great novelties at the level of functionalities and one of them integrated into the new iCloud + tools presented at WWDC last June. The new version of iOS 15.2 will allow the user activate and configure the 'Hide my email' function directly from the iOS Mail app without having to access iCloud settings from the Settings app. After the jump we will tell you.
You can access the 'Hide my mail' function from Mail in iOS 15.2
The function Hide my email allows the user to hide personal email to replace it with a redirect to a random email created by Apple. That is, the new random mail will serve as a protective shield against the platforms where we place said mail. The entire inbox will go directly to our personal email, but in this way We avoid overexposing our email address in places where we do not want to leave it.
Until now, this feature was available from the iCloud Settings in the Settings app. However, the second beta of iOS 15.2 introduces the option within the Mail app. In this way, when we are going to send an email we can click on «From:» to select from which email we want to send it. In the new beta we can select if we want to use a personal email, create a random email for the occasion or select one of those already created.
Regarding the privacy and security of the feature, we can rest assured. According to Apple, all information remains private and no one can access it even when emails are stored on their servers:
Apple does not read or process the content contained in emails that go through Hide My Mail, although it does perform standard spam filtering, which is a requirement to maintain our reputation as a trusted email provider. . Once you receive the emails, we remove them from our relay servers, usually within seconds.
