iOS wants to access your Google Account I changed my google password and received the message above. According to the message, it would allow iOS to: read, compose send, and permanently delete all your email from Gmail; See, edit, download, and permanently delete your contacts, and See, edit share, and permanently delete all the calendars you can access using Google Calendar. This question was posed earlier, but not really answered. Is this safe? Is it necessary for iOS to have the capability to take these actions?

“Hide my email” messages not delivered The other posts on this topic would not let me reply, but I’m wanting to know if anyone ever got a real answer for this because I am locked out of several website logins because I used iCloud “hide my email”, but the password reset emails never arrive… (yes I have iCloud+) -I already checked the article on “sign in with Apple” -I made sure it forwarded to correct email -checked spam any fix for this? I’m seeing quite a few with the same issue. p.s. I’m running iOS 18.3 on iPhone 14 Plus Thank you 👩‍💻

Likely, because you are using Gmail. If you were using another mail service, they would also request access to your phone........so you would have email service on the phone.
