Gmail will soon offer a new feature to create temporary email addresses

Google may be working on a new feature for Gmail called Shielded Email. This feature will allow users to create temporary email addresses that can be used to sign up for various sites and services.

Here's What We Know

Temporary addresses will redirect emails to the user's primary email account and can be easily deactivated if spam starts to arrive. This innovation will help protect the main mailbox from unwanted emails and potential data leaks.

The feature has been revealed in the latest version of the Gmail Android app, but Google hasn't officially announced it yet. Shielded Email is expected to have restrictions on sending emails to prevent abuse such as spam or phishing emails. If Google decides to launch the feature, it would be a useful addition to Gmail, providing users with a simple and effective way to protect their online privacy.
