**Summary:**

1. **New Email Alias System**  
Google is reportedly working on an email alias system called **“Shielded Email”** to help users **shield** their main email address from spam.

2. **Forwarding System**  
The system will allow users to create **single-use** or **limited-use aliases** that forward messages to their main account, protecting privacy and reducing spam.

3. **Beyond Spam**  
The feature is also designed to help users **avoid tracking** and **mitigate risks** from future data breaches by keeping their real email address private.

4. **Similar to Apple’s Feature**  
The feature is similar to **Apple’s Hide My Email** , which automatically generates random email addresses for services requiring an email address.

5. **Privacy Focus**  
This system could potentially be integrated into **Google’s Autofill settings** , enhancing user privacy when interacting with apps and online services.
