Can I revert to the Mail App after the iOS 18.2 update

I have the same question. I absolutely hate the mail update. Who ever thought that was a good idea must really hate humanity.

Settings > Apps > Mail > Show Contact Photos / toggle off.

Also even if you can view mail the old way through List View - the categories are still there and the app still categorizes your mail in the background, using resources. I've asked in another question to please let us remove categories entirely. They are all wrong anyway and pretty useless.

Tap the 3 buttons on the right, then select List View. It will display Mail the old way.

Settings > Apps > Mail > Show Contact Photos / toggle off

I ABSOLUTELY HATE THE NEW MAIL UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!

Following the suggestions here make it look like it did before the update but it still seems to be categorizing my mail and doesn’t show I have new messages (indicated by a red circle with a number in the corner of the app button) for mail it doesn’t consider “primary mail.” I had an email from a client sitting in my mailbox and didn’t know it until I physically opened the mail app to check. That email along with 10 other new emails (like Amazon shipping info, etc.) were not indicated on my Home Screen, showed up as new unread mail. Is there a way to stop it from categorizing things on its own. Not everything is junk like it seems to think.

Settings > Apps > Mail > Show Contact Photos / toggle off

Apple once again tampering with something and making it worse. Probably used a chunk of memory too 😡

I worked in user interface design and usability for 15 years. I only now updated - I think I was on like iOS 14 or something. I regret it. Less is more and Steve Jobs got that. It doesn’t feel to me that any real user testing was done for this update, especially with this dumb Mail update.

Go to Settings>Notifications>Mail>Customize Notifications>in BADGE COUNT select All Unread Messages.

This new Apple mail setup looks very similar to Google’s email, which I don’t like either. Why couldn’t Apple just stay with a good thing!

Yes tap the 3 dots top right in your mail and toggle list. If you want the pictures to the left of each of your mails to disappear go into settings go into Mail and toggle off contact photos

go to list view then go to the mail app in settings and turn off show contact photos.
