Google Explores 'Shielded Email' Feature for Enhanced Privacy

The potential new Gmail feature aims to protect users from spam and data breaches by using temporary email aliases.

Google's Shielded Email feature was discovered in the latest Google Play Services update, though it remains unconfirmed by the company.
The feature would allow users to generate temporary email addresses that forward to their main inbox, similar to Apple's Hide My Email.
Shielded Email aims to reduce spam and enhance security by preventing real email addresses from being exposed in potential data breaches.
Integration with Google's Autofill settings suggests seamless use across the Google ecosystem for signing up on websites and apps.
It is unclear if Shielded Email will be a paid feature or when it might be officially launched, as it remains in development stages.
