What are the Key Features
The feature of Private Relay is the first and most important. It’s a new internet privacy service that enables users to surf the web more safely and privately. All traffic leaving a user’s device will be secured thanks to this feature, which is integrated into iCloud.

Users will be able to retain their personal email addresses privately if they are concerned about receiving spam messages from a specific email address in the future.
