Email Anonymization / Hide User Emails is now on by default for new apps, and you must choose to collect real user emails if you want them. There’s a bug where this setting may change if you open an existing app in the editor and you have never set the setting before. We are rolling out a fix to prevent this setting from changing when editing existing apps.

Update: We’ve fixed the bug which caused Hide Emails setting to turn on automatically when editing your app.

@Jonny_L I have the exact same issue - did you manage to fix it? would so appreciate any suggestions here :pray:t2:

I use the email to automatically check they belong to our company via visibility filters, eg must contain @xyz.com. Will this still be possible for Pro Apps? And what about fee Apps?

Unfortunately, I haven’t figured out a permanent solution to the issue. The user still has the anonymous email associated whenever the user logs in despite the feature now being turned off. I’ve had to create a separate profile for that user based on the anonymous email address as the app always now associates the users email with it. It’s a very poor experience, I hope the bug is fixed soon.

Can you delete that email from your app in your Privacy settings?

@Jonny_L @david FYI looks like problem has been resolved - it’s now working, and I have not had to do anything. many thanks!

Thanks @david! Deleting the anonymous email from my privacy settings and asking the user to re-login worked :+1:

Hi there! I think it an excellent idea to automatically anonymize all the email addresses. For my own app, I want to use this setting because I don’t need or want to have access to all of my user’s emails. Sadly, the function is not working. Even though I turned the setting on in Settings, Glide still automatically adds a tab to my original spreadsheet called “App: Logins”, which shows the email-addresses of everyone who logs in. I have tried removing this tab, turning the setting off and on again, but nothing seems to work. Does anybody know how to solve this? Thanks in advance!

It appears that this is currently not working. [image] Hide user email adresses not working Report a Bug I just tested and confirmed that this setting no longer appears to be working. @david @Mark

Is anybody having trouble collecting real user email addresses? I have a pro app with collect real email user email addresses selected but the app is still hiding the user’s email. [image]

This is beautiful @david but now finding the admin email has become harder I spent almost 2hrs trying to figure out an email to make them admin is there a way to make its better ?
