To set up and use Hide My Email for online discounts on your iPhone, follow these steps:
1. Enable Hide My Email: Ensure you have an iCloud+ subscription, which includes the Hide My Email feature.
2. Access Settings: Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
3. Navigate to iCloud: Tap on your Apple ID at the top of the settings menu, then select iCloud.
4. Select Hide My Email: Tap on Hide My Email.
5. Create a New Address: Tap Create New Address. A unique, random email address will be generated for you. You can also add a label to identify it later (e.g., "Online Discounts").
6. Use the Address: When shopping online, enter this generated email address when prompted for your email. This allows you to receive discounts without revealing your personal email.
7. Manage Addresses: If you want to use the same discount again in the future, you can delete the generated email address from your iCloud settings. Go back to Hide My Email, select the address, and choose to deactivate or delete it.
8. Repeat as Needed: After deleting the address, you can create a new one for future discounts on the same site.
Using Hide My Email helps you avoid spam and keeps your personal inbox organized while taking advantage of online discounts[1][2][5].
