How do I fix Mail freezing after iOS 18.5 update on iPhone 13 Pro Max?

It probably won’t last. Didn’t for me.

After recent iOS update Mailbox screen freezes. What s the fix besides restarting phone on iPhone 13pro max

Same issue here. Started this morning, as well. iPhone 11. IOS 18.5.

That worked for 24 hours. Back to crashing.

"if yours isn’t tough luck." Wow, very impressive "human being" you are, NOT!!

Over 24 hours. Opened mail app 12-14 times no issues; since setting all mail accounts to fetch and automatic.

And may the Force be with you too 🖖

My solution still working btw - I suspect it ‘may’ be due to I Cloud Private Relay

Who knows

Yes, mine started yesterday June 4th as well. Husband is having the same issue. He has an iPhone 11 and I have a 13. Seems crazy that no communication is available on this yet given the security concern.

*** Workaround ***

Hi guys, I contacted my local Apple Support and they provided a workaround that fixed this issue on my iPhone:

Settings > General > Transfer or Reset [Device] > Reset > Reset Network Settings

You might want to give it a try...

I was able to fix this by uninstalling the mail app and reinstalling it.

I had to change the default email program before it would let me uninstall it.

I had to go into the Mail Account Settings to add Mail to each account and then changed the default email program back to Mail after I reinstalled it.

It seems to have fixed the problem.

Apple, how in the **** do you screw up something as fundamental as the mail app??? My wife and I have different model iPhones and the mail app is frozen on both! Combine the malfunctioning of basic applications with the fact that Apple hasn’t innovated in over a decade, and one wonders what’s wrong with leadership at the company. Epic fail.

I’ve also had this issue several times on my iPhone 15 since updating to iOS 18.5. Mail app shows me a blank screen, or freezes and won’t respond at all. Force close doesn’t help, I have to restart my phone. It’s a big PITA, because I use the phone for my work correspondence and it is a waste of time having to restart my phone repeatedly. Apple needs to release a fix for this ASAP.

Same issue. Began couple days ago. It is an Apple problem that as if today’s call to support is “resolved” but it certainly is NOT. Guy ssn reboot your phone to get it working again. That only lasts a couple hours. I deleted the mail app and reinstalled which worked for about 30 hours and then the same problem arise. Although mail notifications are enabled, I do not receive them even after rebooting and deleting and reinstalling the app. I called several times about this issue and not until this morning disks a rep sheet me to the Apple problem! Engineering gas to work on it. Who knows when it will be resolved. In the meantime I am using the outlook app.

I am also having the same issue and I'm extremely frustrated. I have an iphone 13 pro max and it is annoying when I can't get my work emails that are time sensitive. This just started after this update. I was wondering if Apple is pulling a fast one to get people to move to a new phone. I have seen it happen before. I have done all of the things suggested to fix this and it just keeps happening.

Apple please do something now! We pay too much for this nonsense.

It is an Apple issue. You can reboot your phone and it will work for a while. It will reoccur in a couple of hours. I deleted the email app and reinstalled. This procedure lasted about 30 hours. I called support today. I was told the issue was resolved yesterday. NOT. I do not receive mail notifications now although I am receiving emails. Luckily, I gave the ms outlook app to depend on right now. I will give it another couple if days. If these nail issues are not resolved, I was instructed to call support back with my case number. I was told to ask for senior support. Very frustrating.
