Hide my email

I’m not getting any of my emails forward to my account from the privacy email and I’m very confused on why I search up a few videos but can’t find one that would help.

Hello fijlis,


  1. Open Setting
  2. Tap on Your Name (Apple ID)
  3. Tap on iCloud
  4. Tap on Hide My Email


You will need to use one the emails listed within this menu. If there are none, tap on the plus icon and follow the on screen instructions to generate a Hide My Email address and create a label.


Once you have one, tap on any of them! You want to give websites, or whoever, the Hide My Email email address (usually following the format <word>_<word>.<letter + number>@icloud.com but it can be different combinations of this as well).


If you're not getting the emails from Hide My Email, that means the Forward To address is wrong. To fix this:


  1. Open Setting
  2. Tap on Your Name (Apple ID)
  3. Tap on iCloud
  4. Tap on Hide My Email
  5. Scroll to the bottom and tap on Forward To


It will forward to your Apple ID by default. Tap on Reachable At to add more options. Once you have more options, follow the steps above again and select on the address you want them to forward to.


I hope this helps!
