FWIW, I had my real email addresses showing before this weekend and when I checked this morning, the only email address that was being shown was the @facebook.com one. My other 2 email addresses (one visible to each of my friends and one only to a close few) were hidden from my timeline. Shady!!
- Periodic 14y agoI can confirm. I had my wife check my account, and she has the most liberal viewing privileges of my profile out of anyone I know. She now only sees a @facebook.com email address. My primary address, @gmail.com, is no longer visible under Contact Info on my profile.
- kellishaver 14y agoI had the same experience. I don't make my email address public, but I do have it visible to friends - sharing contact info among selected groups is one of the few things Facebook is useful for. When I checked earlier, my real email was hidden from everyone and my friends were only seeing the @facebook.com address.
- mh- 14y agoI'm having the same experience, but I only had a single email address previously (the one I signed up with years ago) and it was visible to friends until this update. It's safe to assume that the vast majority of users fit this case: signed up with an email address, never added a second one. Since it affects this use case.. I'm going to posit that this is quite widespread.
- bad_user 14y agoI can confirm. I also had 2 public email addresses that were hidden. I also remember that I always disallowed Facebook from using a "fake" address in case some app wanted my email address.
