- Apple said new relay addresses for Sign in with Apple and iCloud+ Hide My Email will be issued on private.icloud.com later this summer.
- The shift replaces two legacy domains—privaterelay.appleid.com for Sign in with Apple and icloud.com for Hide My Email—with one shared domain.
- Existing addresses will keep working and continue forwarding mail, so users should see no interruption from the change.
- Developers and email providers still need to update allowlists, validation logic, filtering and routing rules to accept the new domain.
