How do I disable the Hide my Email feature?

I don’t want the “hide my email” auto fill button to display when filling out a form. Right now I have to type the first letter into a field to have the hide my email button go away to reveal my auto fill email button. How do I get rid of the hide my email feature? I found no off button in the settings for it.

iPhone 12 mini, iOS 15

Set up and use Hide My Email on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

  1. In Safari: Open a website, tap in an email field, then tap Hide My Email above the keyboard to generate a new random email address or use one you've already created for the website.
  2. In Settings: Tap [your name] > iCloud, then tap Hide My Email.

Create and manage Hide My Email addresses in Settings on iPhone

When you subscribe to iCloud+, you can use Hide My Email to keep your personal email address private. With Hide My Email, you can generate unique, random email addresses that forward to your personal email account, so you don’t have to share your real email address when filling out forms on the web or signing up for newsletters.

  • You can create and manage Hide My Email addresses in Settings . Go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Hide My Email, then do any of the following:
  • Create a Hide My Email address: Tap Create New Address, then follow the onscreen instructions.
  • Deactivate a Hide My Email address: Tap an address (below Create New Address), then tap Deactivate Email Address. After you deactivate the address, it no longer forwards emails to you.
  • Change which personal email address to forward to: Tap Forward To, then choose an email address. Options consist of addresses that are available with your Apple ID.
  • Copy a forwarding address to use elsewhere: Tap an address (below Create New Address), touch and hold the Hide My Email section, then tap Copy. To immediately use that address elsewhere, touch and hold in a text field, then tap Paste.

You can also generate Hide My Email addresses in Safari wherever email addresses are required. See Hide your personal email address in Safari on iPhone.
