There are three inevitations in life: death, taxes and technical platforms that make design changes that universally do not like. The newest victim of this phenomenon is the Apple Mail app, which received a large redesign in iOS 18. This update is also rolled out on iPads and MacBooks.
The new Apple Mail design separates e -mails in categories, such as primary, transactions, updates and promotions. It also gives contact photos to every sender, which matches the new brand functions of the company for companies in the iOS ecosystem.
Although some users find the redesign visually unattractive and difficult to navigate, others think they are missing important messages, which is understandably not ideal.
On social media, besieged iOS users have described this update as ‘completely unreliable’, ‘not to decipher’ and ‘so ugly’. Some went so far to wish that the UX designers of the app ‘hedgehogs would poop’.
Fortunately, there is a way to disable these updates without manifesting this unthinkable rectal pain in the world.
- First open your e -mail -app on iOS 18.
- Find the menu with three punches in the top right corner of your screen.
- From there, select “list display” instead of “categories” as your display.
Although this sends your inbox back to every performance you had earlier, there is still a lot of visual mess, because contact photos still appear in the app. This can be useful when you text via messages because you probably have contact photos for your friends and family. But in your e -mailinbox it does not really help to see a small yellow shopping bag next to each e -mail from a retailer -mainly because several technical blogs and newsletters I subscribe to be marked with the same icon as H&M or Anthropology, which apparently are a different kind of things.
Follow these steps to get rid of the contact photos on your iOS -mail -app.
- Open the app settings on your iPhone.
- Scroll to the bottom of the screen, where you see a section named Apps.
- Scroll in the Apps menu until you find the e -mail -app (or type an e -mail in the search bar to save yourself for five seconds -Life is short).
- Under the section with the label report list, switch the option out of those lectures displays contact photos again.
Finally your e -mail -app is free of junk -well, except that promotional e -mails from H&M and Anthropology that you don’t really open. Maybe it’s time to register for a number of mailing lists? You are alone for that.
