change forwarding address under hide my email ?

apple says this:


Change your forwarding address

If you use Hide My Email with a developer, you can change the email address that receives forwarded messages from that developer. You can select any email address you have on file in your Apple ID account:

  1. On your iPhone, go to Settings, then tap [your name].
  2. Tap Name, Phone Numbers, Email, then tap Forward to under Hide My Email.
  3. Choose the address you want emails to be forwarded to.

When you choose the email address, this applies to email from all apps and developers using Hide My Email.


but there is no other address to choose, just my apple id

I have other addresses in the "containable at" box but no choice appear


I would really rather not get developer emails at my Apple ID but would prefer a secondary address


any ideas appreciated

Greetings,. KrazyCat!


Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities! It sounds like you're unable to change the email address to forward your emails to when hiding your Apple ID. We'd suggest trying to stop email forwarding and then enabling it again to see if that resolves the issue. Check out this article to Manage the apps you use with Sign in with Apple:


"Turn Off Email Forwarding

To stop emails sent by a particular developer from reaching your personal inbox, turn off Forward To, then select Stop. Emails aren't forwarded to your personal inbox unless you turn email forwarding back on."


If that doesn't help and you need further assistance, we would recommend reaching out to Apple directly by checking out this link to Get Support and they will be more than happy to proceed with additional steps.


Have a wonderful day!
