Apple offers the Hide My Email feature that allows users to hide their real email address when signing in to an app or website that requires access to your Apple account. The feature is designed to allow you to avoid exposing your real iCloud email address to websites and apps by using a random email address that Apple creates for you.
When an app/website sends you messages, they are automatically forwarded directly to your original iCloud address. You can reply to them from your own email account, but they will still remain private. The Hide My Email feature not only keeps your own iCloud address hidden from apps and websites, but also gives you the option to decide whether or not you want to receive emails from them. This way, you can filter out all the spam messages from a service and prevent them from polluting your iCloud email.
