Google plans to launch Shielded Email feature for Gmail users to enhance privacy and security

Google is introducing a new feature called "Shielded Email" for Gmail users on Android. This feature will allow users to create disposable email addresses that forward messages to their main account, enhancing privacy and security. Using unique email addresses for different accounts can help protect against hackers who exploit data leaks. This feature will be available to Gmail's nearly 2 billion users without requiring a separate subscription, unlike Apple's Hide My Email service. Google has been improving its security measures, including dark web monitoring and better password management, without additional costs. The Shielded Email feature aims to provide stronger online protection amid increasing data breaches.
