Revision Content

This article is about addressing in the email app, which you can open by tapping email.

To:

To: The primary recipient(s) of this email.
When composing email, tap To to edit.

CC:

CC: (Carbon Copy) The secondary recipient(s) of this email.
Recipients will see the email addresses of those in the To: and CC: field.
When composing email, tap cc/bcc to edit.

BCC:

BCC: (Blind Carbon Copy) Addresses in this field will have mail sent to them, but recipients won't know who was in the BCC: field i.e. those in the BCC: field will receive the email but those in the To: and CC: fields won't know who was in the BCC: field.

If there is no entry in the To: field but only in the BCC: then the mail will be sent to all the BCC recipient(s) and the mail will be displayed to recipients as being sent to "undisclosed recipients" or similar wording by the receiving email program.
When composing email, tap cc/bcc to edit.

Tip: Email providers limit the number of people that you can send an email to. Please check your email provider's website for the exact limit. If you need to email lots of people, it's better to use a mailing list or a bulk email service.
