Send with existing Hide My Email address

I had this discussion a couple of weeks ago with the Apple engineers.

Before iphone iOS update to 15.2:

When you reply to an HME, you see your address in the from field - BUT as this goes through Apple's system, it is hidden and the recepient does see only the HME.

AFTER Update IOS 15.2 and Montrrey 12.1 - these updates resolve this and you can see the HME when you reply!

i know I sent in feedback that the HME was incredibly valuable to see in the sent folder, so you can manage your activities. They probably already had this planned since it's in the last updates.

After the update I hit reply from an Amazon email I'm using HME currently and unique HME address will show.

My suggestion: get your updates and you can see and manage with confidence. Until that, it does work when you reply despite not seeing the HME. The only thing to be careful is if you have discussion threads with the merchant - be sure to keep those straight too as you usually would.

Hello b-i-g-s-m-i-t-h,

Welcome to Apple Support Communities!

Hello b-i-g-s-m-i-t-h,

According to the article, Hide your personal email address in Safari on Mac, there isn't an option to reply to that message using the address you used to send it. Therefore, you would have to start the process over and do the following:

1. "In the Safari app  on your Mac, when a website asks for your email address, click the email address field.
2. Choose Hide My Email.
3. A unique, random email address is suggested. Email sent to the address is forwarded to your real email address.
4. Do one of the following:

• • Get a different email address: Click the Refresh button .
  • Use the suggested email address: Click Use."

Apple does invite feedback and feature requests via their product feedback portal: Product Feedback
