Google Develops 'Shielded Email' to Enhance Privacy for 2.5 Billion Users on Android
Nov 15, 2024, 03:46 PM
Google is developing a new feature called 'Shielded Email' aimed at enhancing user privacy by hiding email addresses from app developers on Android. This feature will allow users to create single-use email aliases, ensuring that their main email addresses remain private. The initiative is similar to Apple's iCloud 'Hide My Email' feature and is expected to bring more privacy-focused options to billions of Gmail users. The development of 'Shielded Email' underscores Google's ongoing commitment to improving privacy and security for its 2.5 billion users.
