how do I get my iPhone to stop asking me to hide my email? It’s so annoying to have to type in my email address. I want the auto fill option back, please!
iPhone 12, iOS 16
furthermore, I find it really frustrating that the only way to get rid of something I don’t want i.e. hide your email, is to get rid of something I do want, my iCloud+ storage 😖
Disabling iCloud+ is the way to stop Hide My email.
When you get the Hide My email option you will get not choose the Hide My email option.
However, Hide My email does use your "correct" email ID only but the difference is that the "correct" email ID will be invisible to the receiver and will be masked with an iCloud email ID created just for you and for the App/receiver. When they respond to this "new" email ID the email will come to your "correct" email Inbox.
There is no separate email Inbox for Hide My email allocated to you.
every time I’ve used hide my email the communication from the website Im using ends up in my junk mail. Also, sometimes I need to set up an account using my actual email for times when I want to login from a device that isn’t connected to my Apple ID. It’s obnoxious to have to manually type it in when my iPhone decides that using my actual email address isn’t an option it should give me on the auto fill bar. Why are there times when the only choice is to use hide my email? Auto filling My actual email address should always be one of the options. I understand the apples goal is to keep its customers safe and secure, but isn’t that something over which we should have full autonomy?
A screenshot of what I’m talking about. As I said before, I’m not getting the option to auto fill my real email address 👿
