Google Develops 'Shielded Email' for Android Users to Create Single-Use Email Aliases
Nov 14, 2024, 10:50 PM
Google is reportedly developing a new feature called 'Shielded Email' aimed at enhancing user privacy on Android devices. This tool will allow users to create single-use email aliases, thereby protecting their primary email addresses from app developers. The initiative is seen as a response to ongoing concerns about privacy and data security, particularly among Gmail users who have faced confusion regarding email address formats. This move could align Google more closely with Apple's privacy features, such as 'Hide My Email', potentially offering billions of Gmail users greater control over their personal information.
