Bcc means “blind carbon copy.” It is an email feature that lets you send a message to more than one person without showing the other recipients’ email addresses.
People use Bcc when they want to protect privacy, send a message to a group quietly, or keep someone included without everyone else knowing. It is common in work emails, newsletters, and messages to large groups.
Meaning & Usage
When you put someone in the Bcc field, they receive the email, but other people on the email cannot see their address. This helps keep email lists private and avoids sharing contact details with everyone.
Examples
A company may use Bcc to email many customers at once. A manager may Bcc a supervisor on a message to a team. A person may also use Bcc to copy themselves or someone else without drawing attention to it.
What is the difference between Bcc and Cc?
Cc shows all recipients to everyone on the email. Bcc hides the recipient list from other people on the message.
When should I use Bcc?
Use Bcc when you want to keep email addresses private or send a message to multiple people without exposing the full list.
Can people see who is Bcc’d?
No. People in the To and Cc fields cannot see who is in Bcc.
