I use a yahoo email as my Apple ID. How can I use an alias with no one knowing
How do I know if my daughter is using an alias for her iCloud/Apple id.
Any apple id has ability to create up to three aliases that nobody would know. Purpose of creating more then one alias is to give people different email addresses. Example would be if I had automotive business and computer business, so emails addressed to auto@icloud.com and IT@icloud.com would go to my mail box.
Downside - they all go to the same mail account - which is your first account alias. So if you were to go to icloud.com website and sign in with your whocaresname@yahoo.com or whocaresname@icloud.com - you will still see all of those icloud.com emails (not the yahoo ones).
Close enough?
