hide my emails without icloud+

Hello ddashiki,

We'd be happy to help explain this. First off, iCloud Private Relay (explained here: About iCloud Private Relay - Apple Support) does require an iCloud+ subscription. Did you have one previously, perhaps? The 'Hide My Email' feature is explained in this article: Set up and use Hide My Email in iCloud+ on all your devices - Apple Support. This also requires an iCloud+ account.

To stop using those features, take a look at this article: Stop using, reactivate, or delete a Hide My Email address on iCloud.com - Apple Support. Follow this guidance:

"Stop using an address created with Hide My Email

1. On iCloud.com, click  in the toolbar, then click Hide My Email.
2. Select the email address you want to stop using.
3. Click “Deactivate email address,” then follow the onscreen instructions.

When you stop using a unique, random address, any emails sent to that address are returned to the sender.

Reactivate an inactive address

1. On iCloud.com, click  in the toolbar, then click Hide My Email.
2. Scroll to the bottom of the list, then select an address below “[number] inactive email address(es).”
3. Click “Reactivate address,” then follow the onscreen instructions.

Delete an inactive address

You can only delete inactive addresses.

Important: Deleting an address created with Hide My Email is permanent, and it’s deleted on all your devices set up for Hide My Email. You cannot reactivate the address.

1. On iCloud.com, click  in the toolbar, then click Hide My Email.
2. Scroll to the bottom of the list, then select an address below “[number] inactive email address(es).”
3. Click “Delete address,” then follow the onscreen instructions."

We hope this helps. Let us know if we can assist with anything else at all. Take care.

I cant do any of this since i never had icloud + so it doesnt give me the option to go into hidemyemail.

Hide My Email is an iCloud+ subscription feature, not a regular iCloud feature. Since you never had iCloud+ it should not appear as a settings option.

1. I cant do any of this since i never had icloud + so it doesnt give me the option to go into hidemyemail. Like said here (On iCloud.com, click  in the toolbar, then click Hide My Email)

But the thing is i do have the option and i am 100% certain i don’t have iCloud + and i have checked in multiple places to see if do have it and i dont
