outlook app worse with iOS 18.2 update

I just installed the iOS 18.2 update on my iPhone 14 Pro. The Outlook app's email interface is totally changed, with all emails shunted off into four categories that the app decides (incorrectly). This is a confusing "improvement" that conceals new emails and makes it more likely that I'll miss an important email because the app thinks it's a "Promotion." The old system worked just fine. The update is a mess. How can I get back the previous version of Outlook, which is actually user-friendly?

iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 18

Sorry, I reread your post and what you're seeing is in fact the new Apple Mail app. You don't need to use the Categories (that's what they're called). You can return the email lists back to exactly how it was before the new mail app update.


At the top of your mailbox, is a circle with three (...) in it. Tap it and tap List View as opposed to Categories.


Your mail will look as it did.
