Apple rescues Hide My Email feature from the privacy scrap heap

Apple reversed course on its plan to discontinue the Hide My Email feature, which generates masked email addresses using the icloud.com domain. The feature will remain available to users seeking privacy in their online accounts and subscriptions.

Why it matters: Privacy-conscious users and those managing multiple email identities now retain access to Apple's masking service; practitioners should track whether this signals broader Apple privacy commitments or feature stability changes.
