 CUPERTINO, CALIFORNIA - JUNE 06: Brand new redesigned MacBook Air laptops are displayed during the WWDC22 at Apple Park on June 06, 2022 in Cupertino, California.

The Cupertino giant previously teased that the next-generation macOS would start bringing support for its Hide My Email feature beyond its built-in apps.

Apple's macOS Ventura Website: 'Hide my Email' for Third Party Apps

As per the latest news from Mac Rumors, the macOS Ventura section of the official Apple website says that its users could start to keep their "personal email address private" even against third-party apps.

The website of the iPhone maker further states that an iCloud+ subscription would allow macOS Ventura users to use its Hide My Email feature even beyond apps like Mail and Safari.

It is worth noting that Apple introduced the privacy feature when it released the macOS Monterey. But the email hiding function was exclusively limited to the built-in app of the Cupertino giant.

Apple has teased that the all-new macOS Ventura is expanding the said privacy feature. In fact, it even listed it as one of the functionalities to look forward to in the upcoming operating system version.

But this time, it appears that the iPhone updated the features list of macOS Ventura on its website in the United States.

The French media outlet, Mac Generation, noticed the sudden change, noting that it has been removed from the list of features for the upcoming release of macOS.

Meanwhile, Mac Rumors notes in its report that the Apple website still listed the email hiding function last Aug. 3.

However, that was the last time the Apple US site included the feature on its macOS Ventura section. Since then, the Hide My Email for third-party apps is nowhere to be found on the list.

It is interesting to point out that the said feature still exists in the macOS Ventura website in other countries.

But Mac Rumors notes that it is likely that Apple might have been a bit slower in updating the macOS page in other parts of the globe.
