Unable to Select a New Email Address Under Hide my email

apple says we can do this here:


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 i see no other email option to select, only my apple id

Go to appleid.apple.com, sign in to your account, add the new email to it and verify it, then go and change the hide email settings.
