Apple could complement their existing “hide my email” with a “hide my number” feature that makes it easy to create disposable tracking protected phone numbers. This would help counteract the “oh something about your account is suspicious so give us your phone number” dark pattern.
- actuator 4y agoApple's feature is inherently a monopolistic feature and something not really new. Login with FB and Google already had options for not sharing email. I still prefer to signup using a spam email address.
