I am trying to change the colour of a flag in Mail in iOS 26.1 on my iPad Pro 2018. There appears to be no longer an option for changing flag colour, neither when flagging new mails nor on existing flags. They are stuck on the last used colour (teal in my case, orange for other users I have read)
Is that a bug or a bit of intrusive programming?
iPad Pro, iPadOS 26
Scroll all the way down to the bottom of the email. Tap the “curved arrow” icon (bottom right) to show the email options, in particular the choice of flag colors:
Yeees. That’s where it used to be and still are on the phone. But as I say at the top I’m on iPad and it’s all changed there. Now those functions are at the top and you can flag or not but not select the colour. Teal is what I used last before updating to 26.1.
