My emails are going to the promotions folder after iOS 18.2 update

No. You are not getting it. Updates are fine and needed. but why do they automatically have all these things turned on so that you get a major shock especially if you’ve got something like ADHD or a visual impairment or you suddenly cannot work for weeks because you can’t work with the new system. A lot of these things you can turn off, so why don’t they just leave them off? And let people add them if and when they choose to add them. Apple is actually moving away from helping people with disabilities by these updates.

The very easy solution is to read the update notifications that come with each release, like this one→What’s new in iOS 18 - Apple Support This is linked from the update page in Settings, so you can read it before you update and make a decision. And if you are worried about what is coming next, just turn off automatic updates.

Yes. I see what you are saying.

I have multiple email addresses.

you have to do it for every different inbox.

i was doing it for all mailboxes and it didn’t work. Once I turned off categories for each separate inbox it worked for all my personal account, Gmail account and iCloud inbox

hope this help.

I was frustrated also!!!

Turn off categories

1. Go to the Mail app  on your iPhone.
2. In an inbox, tap  at the top of the screen on each different inbox , then choose List View.

I’m my case the email do not show in my Yahoo but they show in Unread. Once I view them they disappear. Is there any way to go back to the pre email views without losing the rest of the update.

Settings, Notifications, Mail, Customize Notifications, Check All Unread Messages. That fixed it for me.

I think I fixed it for me-I found a way to go back to list view. Now I see my all my emails as they come into my mailbox but it still has stupid icons by each one.

I just tried this and it seems to have worked 🤞 I am so annoyed that this happened in the first place ☹️

This didn’t work for me. iOS 18.2 screwed the mail pooch.

Worked for me. Many thanks. Maybe they should make you an offer, eh? They REALLY need help!

My iPhone 16 pro max just update to iOS 18.2 and it got heat up so much and can’t even hold the phone. So disappointed

18.2 sunk the email ship ! Can we downdate this update ?

Literally hate this new update!

By removing the categories and using List View as described here, my emails are just like they were before.

it doesn’t show how many emails. i missed tons of important emails on the first day. plus emails i sent out were hidden to others. My emails went into their promotion folder. Apple! stay out of my bloody emails.

If you don't like the categories (I think they're fantastic), turn them off. Tap on the three dots in the top right corner of the Inbox. Select "List View".

I often find that I like things better if I take the time to learn how to use them.
