Later this summer, Apple will unify the email domains used by Sign In with Apple and iCloud+ Hide My Email under one shared domain: private.icloud.com.
New addresses generated for both functions are issued on the new domain. For example:
- Sign in with Apple addresses, previously issued at
privaterelay.appleid.comis issued onprivate.icloud.com.
- iCloud+ Hide My Email Addresses, previously released on
icloud.comis issued onprivate.icloud.com.
Existing addresses on the old domains will continue to work and forward email to users without interruption.
What to do
- Developers with apps or websites that use Sign in with Apple should ensure that their account systems, email validation logic, and allowlists accept addresses on the new
private.icloud.comdomain in addition to existing domains:privaterelay.appleid.comAndicloud.com.
- Email service providers must update any domain-based filters, suppression lists, or routing rules that explicitly list relay domains so that the new
private.icloud.comdomain is included.
