Gmail allows you to send emails to multiple people at once when you want to share the same information at once. You may need to send mass emails in situations such as when you have an event coming up, when you want to alert your customers about new promotions, when you want to share exciting news with others in your organization, etc.

Since this email is going to be sent to a lot of people, it can take a while to get it right and one of the things you may want to avoid is listing the email addresses of your recipients who have access to your email. In this post, we’ll explain why you should hide recipients when sending emails, how it works, and how to do it on Gmail on the web and on your phone.

Hiding your recipients when sending mass emails is important because you may not want your recipients to know who you sent the email to. If you show the email addresses of all the recipients of the email, they will all be able to see each other's email addresses, potentially leaving their privacy unprotected.

For end users, leaving their email addresses visible leaves them vulnerable to spam and unwanted emails from anyone on the internet. Businesses can avoid receiving complaints from their customers about this by hiding the email addresses of their email recipients. For organizations, this is beneficial because other companies receiving your email cannot know who your customers are and cannot influence your business in any way.
