Custom Email Domain​

Share your custom domain with people outside your Family Sharing group, purchase a new domain, or enable catch‑all aliases right from iCloud Mail settings.

iPadOS 18

iPadOS 18 brings new ways to work with Apple Pencil, new experiences in apps, deeper customization options, and support for Apple Intelligence.

So... Apple is a domain registrar now
+100 for catch-all aliases. that's the one feature i was hoping for

It seems they allow you to register new domains through cloudflare!

It would be cool if it would be possible to pay through Apple and the ability to not only register new ones but also transfer domains!

Came here to ask this. So glad! Catch-all emails is the feature I miss the most after moving to Apple Mail with custom domains.

I just signed a petition on the street and it would’ve been great to make up an email on the spot ie petition@mydomain.com that I’ll still receive email from but not be subject to potentially getting on a spam list.

I wonder if we can make them act like hide my email so that we can turn off or add certain aliases to a block list. Without that and with a limit on aliases, then you won’t be able to stop emails and you might as well have given them your real email.

Isn't Custom Domains a server side iCloud feature? Is it working in iOS 16 beta already? I wondered if creating an *@mydomain.com email would turn into a catch all. It didn't work. It let me create the * email alias but doesn't redirect any email to it... yet.

Are you in the beta interface of iCloud?

Good hunch but I don't see anywhere I can add a catch all.

All of these appear to be live on the beta site now (catch-all email address, register through Cloudflare, and enhancements to see family members)

Has anyone been able to get the share custom domain name email address to someone outside family members to work yet?

Watching this space! This is the feature I'm most interested in using.

Just an update, I had hoped that last nights latest developer update for iOS16 may have allowed us to get this working. But unfortunately it doesn't seem to be the case yet.

Has anyone had any luck adding non family members to share a custom email address ?
