- Google is working on a new armored email function, similar to the concealment of Apple My email
- The new tool hides its main email address of service providers when creating accounts
- There is still no launch date, but the testers have been able to activate the prior to launch function
If you are like me, your Gmail entrance tray has been slowly filled with promotions, meaningless updates and accounts that probably never use, simply because he uses the same email address to log in as he really does to write and receive emails.
Fortunately, Google seems to be taking measures to remedy this annoying problem by inspiring its competitor for a long time, Apple.
The new protected email function for Android phones creates an alias when registered for new accounts, immediately emitting a new email address for unique use or limited use to use in the registration process.
Android Authority successfully enabled the characteristic that reports that the new tool exists as part of the Google automatic approach features, along with the same emerging windows that appear at the top of its keyboard to automatically write the phone numbers, credit card information and addresses.
The emails sent to an alias address were automatically forwarded to their main email address, which can deactivate at any time. The use of an alias address creates a buffer between you and the service provider, which means less people have their hands in your main email.
That buffer also means that bad actors can easily be removed from their entrance tray without having to jump through the hoops: it does not even have to block or unsubscribe from these emails to stop appearing. It will also cause your online presence to be more difficult to track, since your identity will be largely hidden from data collectors who seek to build an image of their activity in several places and platforms, easily made if you are using the same email address in various places.
As mentioned, armored email is effectively the same tool as Apple’s concealment, and seeks to offer a very similar result, although given how much inspiration The best iPhones have taken from the best Android phones over the years, I am sure we can let Google go out this time. However, there is still no release date.
What do you think of this new feature? Would you use a armored email or do not matter your fingerprint so much? Let us know in the comments.
