Google developing ‘fake’ email feature to check spam — Report

Search engine giant, Google is reportedly developing a new feature tagged: “Shielded Email” to help users avoid spam messages from unknown accounts.

The new feature which is comparable to what Apple already offers through iCloud, has unexpectedly surfaced in the Google Autofill settings menu, according to a report by Android Authority.

When users need to join up for a website or email list, the feature enables them to instantly produce an email alias that is randomly generated.
