It is a requirement that iOS apps with a sign in feature provide a "Sign in with Apple" (SIWA) option ie so you can register in an app using your Apple credentials, a bit like signing in with Facebook, Google or Yahoo. This option is supported natively in devices running iOS 13 or later. (There a way of implementing SIWA for older iOS devices, Android and the web, but we haven't implemented these yet.)

Someone who uses the iOS app SIWA option won't be able to sign in using a browser in the same way, though they can sign in using another method (eg email and password) if their Freegle account is set up to do them. You can set a password in Settings to enable the email/password option.
If you sign in via SIWA in the iOS app, you won't be able to sign in the same way in a browser, though you can still use another method (e.g. email and password) if your Freegle account is set up for it - you can set a password in Settings to enable email/password sign-in.

When you use Sign in with Apple, you can choose to tell Freegle your email address or you can hide it. In the latter case, the Apple Private Relay service supplies Freegle with a new email such as ghjhgjhgjhg@privaterelay.appleid.com . Any notification emails sent to you will be forwarded on; you can reply as normal and the relay service will forward them on to Freegle.
With Sign in with Apple, you can choose to share your email address with Freegle or hide it. If you hide it, Apple's Private Relay service gives Freegle a substitute address such as ghjhgjhgjhg@privaterelay.appleid.com. Notification emails sent to that address are forwarded to you; replies you send are forwarded back to Freegle by the relay service.

iOS apps that offer a sign-in feature are required to provide a "Sign in with Apple" (SIWA) option, letting you register using your Apple credentials, a bit like signing in with Facebook or Google. This is supported natively on devices running iOS 13 or later. (SIWA can also be implemented for older iOS, Android and the web, but Freegle hasn't done this yet.)

If you sign in via SIWA in the iOS app, you won't be able to sign in the same way in a browser, though you can still use another method (e.g. email and password) if your Freegle account is set up for it - you can set a password in Settings to enable email/password sign-in.

Hiding your email: private relay service

With Sign in with Apple, you can choose to share your email address with Freegle or hide it. If you hide it, Apple's Private Relay service gives Freegle a substitute address such as ghjhgjhgjhg@privaterelay.appleid.com. Notification emails sent to that address are forwarded to you; replies you send are forwarded back to Freegle by the relay service.

Sign-in flow

  • The Freegle iOS app's sign-in screen shows a "Sign in with Apple" option on iOS 13 or later.
  • If needed, you'll be asked to sign in with your Apple ID in the phone's Settings.
  • You may be asked if you want to sign in with your Apple ID - press Continue, then enter your password or passcode.
  • You may see some information about SIWA - press Continue.
  • You'll be offered the choice of sharing your account email or hiding it. Make your choice, then enter your password or passcode.
  • You should now be signed in to the Freegle app.

  • Find Freegle in the list and click it.
  • You can then choose to "Stop using Apple ID" if you wish.
