Apple reverses Hide My Email domain change
Apple has reversed a plan to move iCloud+ Hide My Email addresses from the familiar icloud.com domain to private.icloud.com after user opposition, according to MacRumors, 9to5Mac and a Techmeme summary. Hide My Email will continue generating addresses on icloud.com, abandoning a change the company had announced in June.
Why it matters
The reversal avoids disrupting users who rely on the existing domain for masked email addresses.
