Android Authority experts have found references to the innovation in the Google Play Services update 24.45.33. The new feature, called Shielded Email, is designed to create disposable or limited-use email addresses that forward emails to the main account.

The feature will become a tool for protecting privacy and minimizing the consequences of data leaks.

According to analysts, the innovation will be similar to the Hide My Email feature from Apple, which has already proven itself on the devices of this company.

The feature will allow you to hide your real email address, as well as use temporary addresses for communication, subscriptions and other purposes, protecting users from phishing attacks.

It is predicted that the innovation will be useful for preventing online tracking and data protection, which is especially important in the era of a growing number of cyber threats.

However, it is not yet known whether the feature will be available for free or will become part of a Google One subscription.

At the moment, the feature is in the testing phase and has not been officially announced. There is no word yet on when it will be rolled out.

The introduction of Shielded Email confirms that Google is looking to close the privacy gap between Android and its rival iOS by adding tools to improve data security.
