Here’s what you need to know about iCloud+ and iCloud Private Relay

Privacy

Apple made some significant changes to iCloud and brings them to the Mac, introducing what it calls iCloud+, offering some premium features that are available to paying iCloud users (or those with Apple One) at no additional cost.

These include Hide My Email, which allows you to sign up to services without handing over your personal information, expanded HomeKit Secure Video support, and a new internet privacy service, iCloud Private Relay, which has been incorrectly described as a VPN but instead serves as an extension or companion to a VPN, offering a more private browsing experience on iOS, iPadOS, and macOS

Apple brings Mail Privacy Protection to the Mac, allowing users whether emails can collect information about their Mail activity, and taking a leaf out of iOS 14’s book, the Mac recording indicator now shows which app is accessing the Mac’s microphone.
