iOS 26 Mail: ‘Select All’ Button Missing using 'Select' option – Please Restore

Since updating to iOS 26 on my iPhone 16 Pro, the “Select All” option in Mail has disappeared when entering Select mode. This affects both iCloud and Exchange accounts. The new Categories view makes things worse and adds confusion. Please restore a consistent “Select All” button across all Category selections.

This issue is especially egregious when it's now even easier to accidentally mark every email as flagged instead of read. I now have almost 8,000 flagged emails - and some I genuinely wanted flagged in the mix there. Fun!

It has disappeared from everywhere I am able to enter text. Texts, emails, gmails, notes. It’s awful.

it has been quite the glitchy update for me thus far.
