Hi everyone,
I’m hoping someone with experience of Sign in with Apple and Hide My Email (Private Relay) might be able to clarify something for me.
I previously used Sign in with Apple to access a third-party service, Dropbox, using an Apple Private Relay email address.
I’ve since removed or deactivated that sign-in arrangement, and I’m trying to understand what happens to the associated email address afterwards.
In particular, I’m interested in other people’s experiences of the following:
- Does the Private Relay address stop working immediately when you revoke or remove Sign in with Apple access for a third-party app?
2.If the third-party service subsequently sends an email to that original Private Relay address, is the message still forwarded to your personal email address, or does forwarding stop?
3, Is there a difference between stopping email forwarding for an address and revoking Sign in with Apple access to the associated app?
If you’ve subsequently tried to recover or manage your account with the third-party service, have you encountered any problems because the original Private Relay address is no longer receiving emails?
I’m particularly interested in real-world experiences rather than speculation, as I’m trying to establish what happens to the email forwarding arrangement after Sign in with Apple access has been removed.
I appreciate that the precise behaviour may depend on whether an address has been disabled, email forwarding has been switched off, or access to the third-party app has been revoked. If anyone knows how these situations differ in practice, I’d be grateful for the clarification.
Many thanks for any help or insight!
