Apple plans to expand this feature in iOS 15. Security experts compare these new features with Apple's iOS 14 when Apple introduced its new Hide My Email feature that hides the user's email address and creates a temporary one on the fly. Then if the user starts receiving a bunch of spam (after the list is sold), they can discard it. In contrast, the disposable address can be used for temporary purposes such as signing up for new accounts or adding the user's name to an email list. The intention of the free email address is for family and friends. As a companion tool, the company will also be offering 'disposable forwarding addresses, which can be generated easily in DuckDuckGo's mobile browser or through desktop browser extensions.' Before sending them along, the tool analyzes and strips any tracking device. The new feature will issue users a free email address which will then forward all emails to the user's regular email account. The company began with its eponymous DuckDuckGo search engine and has more recently introduced its own mobile browser and desktop browser extensions to remove trackers while surfing the web.'
