Too much of junk emails: Users of Gmail to receive this big feature that will stop unwanted emails at once

In a latest report, it has been known that, one of the esteemed organizations Google is actually developing a pretty new and significant feature for the users of Gmail which will be able to stop all sorts of unwanted emails at once.

Google is reportedly developing a new feature called ‘Shielded Email’ which will be aimed at enhancing user privacy and reducing spam. According to The U.S. Sun, this feature will eventually allow users to create temporary email aliases that forward messages to their primary email account which is pretty similar to Apple’s existing ‘Hide My Email’ functionality.

The U.S. Sun reported that by using these aliases, users can eventually sign up for services without revealing their actual email addresses, thereby protecting themselves from unwanted emails and online tracking.

According to early reports, Shielded Email is still in development and has not yet been officially launched, asserted The U.S. Sun. It was discovered through a teardown of the Google Play Services code while indicating that it may soon be integrated into Android devices.


This certain feature could streamline the registration process for online services while providing users with greater control over their email privacy.

If users eventually encounter spam from an alias, they can simply disable the forwarding feature while effectively stopping unwanted messages, noted The U.S. Sun. This capability aims to address the growing concerns over privacy as more online platforms require email addresses for access.

While the exact release date remains uncertain, there is hope that Shielded Email will be available soon for users looking to combat excessive emails.
