If you use the hide my email feature, and then the service sends you an email which you have to action to confirm your email, does that risk exposing your actual email address, or will it work with the random one Apple associates to you?
Got a tip for us?

Hi
by Asia, which countries do you mean?! I thought we chat is particularly popular only in China and no other Asian countries. Is that what you meant?Very good question. I’d like to know as well.

AFAIK it’s not particularly popular in (mainland) China but it’s very big in Taiwan, Japan and other countries in East and Southeast Asia.
It won't expose your address if the confirmation process is you clicking a link, which is usually the case. If you somehow have to reply back to them to confirm, then yes, you'd be sending that email from your real address. But I've never seen a confirmation process like that.
Besides, one of the advantages of these log in with Facebook/Google/Apple is that there's no confirmation process because your Facebook/Google/Apple account already provides that confirmation. So it's just bad design if they try to confirm your email address.

WeChat is accessible to any part of Asia actually. Mobile payments are big thing here where Apple Pay is not available. I guess that’s partly why ApplePay is not available here yet, because there’s already available platform for it that supports both Android and Apple users.Hi
ditto.

For those wondering how to enable Sign In with Apple, you need to first go into account settings, login options, then turn on the Apple switch. Then log out and log in again using Sign In with Apple. That should do the trick.

Yes but on the sign up page I don’t see the option for Sign In with Apple ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It’s there for me in the app.
Yeah doesn’t appear for me as I posted a screenshot earlier.

Delete and reinstall the app? I had to force quit the app for the option to show up.

done all that. No change.
Pinterest is definitely trying something sneaky here.
I have a version of the app that definitely had Sign In With Apple, though not on first launch, it was there on subsequent runs. It has been taken away remotely.
The fact that Pinterest can pass the App Store review proces by offering the bare minimum of Sign In With Apple requirements after tricking the reviewer into seeing the Sign In With Apple button, then pulling the feature remotely, tells me that Pinterest is doing something with ill intentions.

Added to the outstanding apps.
I wonder how many of these app developers are waiting until the last possible moment to add Sign In With Apple. Many were working towards the April 30th deadline and added it before that date even though the deadline was extended. But there are still so many outstanding apps that have to add Sign In With Apple in the next 40 days. What are they waiting for? 🤷🏼♂️

It has appeared for me as well now.
But not letting me hide the email address.
Same. If I wanted to use it, I’d just use a burner email but the way in which Pinterest operates has turned me off from their platform and I’ve just deleted my old account and the app itself.

Been almost a year since I saw this at WWDC and I haven’t seen a single app use it yet. Not one.

A lot of apps / companies sell your information. That is why the list is still so small.
