Gmail's New Feature to Combat Spam with Temporary Email Aliases
Originally Published 1 year ago — by Mashable

Google is reportedly developing a new feature called Shielded Email, similar to Apple's Hide My Email, which allows users to create random email aliases to avoid spam and protect their main email address. This feature, found in the Google Autofill settings, aims to enhance privacy by preventing email addresses from being sold to third parties. It is unclear if Shielded Email will require a paid subscription like Apple's service.
