Yes, you can turn off or deactivate individual "Hide My Email" addresses on your iPhone 18 Pro Max, iPhone 16e, iPad Pro 11-inch M4, and iPad Pro 12.9-inch (6th generation), though there is no single master switch to disable the entire feature globally across your Apple Account. 


On iPhone or iPad

  1. Open the Settings app.
  2. Tap your name (Apple Account / iCloud) at the top.
  3. Tap iCloud.
  4. Tap Hide My Email.
  5. Select the specific email address you want to turn off.
  6. Tap Deactivate Email Address (or "Stop Using") to stop it from forwarding messages to your inbox.
