Hello Hudhaifah,


Thanks for following up. When you go to Go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Hide My Email, are you able to see the store you're trying to contacted listed there? Does the email address shown for forwarding match your Apple ID?


Thanks

Hello Hudhaifah,



Are you still a subscriber to iCloud+? The feature Hide My Email requires an active subscription.


Create and manage Hide My Email addresses in Settings on iPhone using this article and pay attention to what you see in:

 Go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Hide My Email

We hope this helps.


Cheers.

Hudhaifah,


Awesome! Is "Forward To" also enabled? You can try sending a test email to your "Hide My Email"email address to confirm it is forwarding to your iCloud email address.


Is it possible that the email was deactivated? If so, you can log into the iCloud website , go to Account Settings, then click Manage in the Hide may email section. Scroll to the bottom of the list and you should see a section with any inactive emails. Click reactive address and follow the instruction provided.


Check out more information here: Stop using, reactivate, or delete a Hide My Email address on iCloud.com


Have a good one!
