Blurred out email

I got an email from TikTok trying to receive an email for my account. How ever the email was like 9***3@icloud.com [NOT A REAL EMAIL] but when I copied it the *** still showed up. Any clue on how to figure out the actual email?

iPhone 13

Hi enternamehere-,


When an email is presented with substituted characters, it's usually as a security measure to avoid supplying the entire address with the intent that you are already familiar with the email address in question and can identify what the substituted characters should be. If you don't recognize the email address, and it doesn't appear in your list of Hide My Email accounts per Create and manage Hide My Email addresses in Settings on iPhone then you may need to work with support for that app to explore other options.


Regards.
