TLDR;
Has anyone found a faster way to access the email aliases list within the Hide my Email database?
First of all, I love the Hide my Email service. If I ever can’t afford iCloud+ anymore, it’s the thing I’ll miss most. Creating and using a Hide my Email is no problem: it’s usable and fast enough. Multiple times per week though, I have to go into its list of my Hide My addresses, just to look something up or so .
For some reason, my access to Hide my Email is very slow. I’m currently on a 13 pro. It’s been the same on my SE 2020. I got around going through the Settings app and in menus by making a Shortcut (https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/2f7d3470144b4364b121ecea14f58b01) (which I can activate by Double Back Tap). That helps a lot for minimizing my interactions. But still it loads very slow, to the point I often think the phone is unresponsive, but it always loads eventually. I hope they’ll release a separate app like with the also excellent Passwords. Used to be buried in the Settings.
Nowadays the fastest way I navigate to it is by enabling iCloud web access. I made a Home Screen app from the web page of iCloud - Hide my. It’s faster, even if I have to log in to my Apple account sometimes (using Face ID so no real trouble).
Does anybody know a faster way? Make the Settings - iCloud menus more responsive?
Cheers!
PS: I copied said Shortcut from Reddit a long time ago, kudos for the user(s) that published it sorry I don’t know the original source(s)
PS 2: I have more than 350 aliases now, but the same slowness problem was with my first alias too.
