    Google’s ongoing campaign to narrow the security and privacy gap between Android and iPhone, as well as the wider Google and Apple ecosystems has
    just taken its latest twist. For 2 billion Gmail users, this could
    completely change how you use email.

    Apple’s Hide My Email feature lets users keep their personal email
    addresses private, away from the information brokers who sell lists of
    email addresses and phone numbers that drive the global scourge of spam
    and cold calling.

    Now it seems Google has decided to follow suit—a surprise decision no-one
    saw coming and which was not touted with the other privacy and security
    updates this year. Per Android Authority, “sure, Gmail is an absolute
    champ at filtering out spam, but every time you share your email with
    someone even a little bit shady, do you feel like you’re playing with fire
    and risking a whole bunch of unwanted contact? Google may just have a
    solution in the works, at least by the looks of our latest teardown.”
