Relay email (Hide my email address)

How do I undo this? I don’t want to stop emails from a particular site or app, I just want to get rid of the relay email address and go back to letting sites and apps use and see my real address. Using the relay address has been messing up the way things work and I regret ever using it.

Deleting a private.relay email address Hello, I wondered if anyone knows how to permanently delete a private relay email address which was created when I signed into Poe AI app, using “Continue with Apple” and “Hide my email” I know how use “Stop using Apple ID” to break the link between the app and Apple, but I want the private.relay email address deleted so that is isn’t associated with my Apple ID anymore. Thanks

How do I delete a random private relay hidden email address which was automatically created between Apple and App which I use? Hello, this is a strange request which I really hope someone can help with as I have spent hours trying to do this. I want to delete the randomly produced private relay email address which was automatically created when I first signed into an App using “continue with Apple” This is a different type to the ones which I can create myself (which have three words and can be deactivated by myself), but has a series of random characters in front of the private relay.appleID.com i.e f4zg5p5n4c@privaterelay.appleid.com I have checked with the Helpdesk of the App (Poe AI) I am using and they say that this comes from Apple and they cannot help me. If I cannot do this myself, can anyone please provide details of how I may request this directly from Apple, as numerous calls to Apple support have been fruitless. I found this on the Apple Developers Website: To facilitate communication between users and developers, Sign in with Apple gives users the ability to use an anonymous email address. When a user provides such an address to your app, the private relay email service routes all emails between you and the user. A private relay email service sends email to a recipient using an automatically generated email address. This hides the real email address to preserve privacy. Thanks Ian

We want to help you disable the Private Relay feature like you want. See here:

"Turn on Private Relay on your Mac

In macOS Ventura or later:

Choose Apple menu  > System Settings.
Click your name, then select iCloud.
