Apple announced to its Global Developer Conference in June that he will come out iOS 26 This fall. This update will bring a New liquid glass design,, calls And more on your iPhone. But when Apple published iOS 18.2 In December, it introduced new feature in your messaging application which sorts your incoming emails in different categories for you which are called the categories.
“The messaging application automatically sits your emails in the categories to help you find and manage messages faster,” wrote Apple online. But if you do not like the operation of the categories in the mail, no worries. Apple offers you some options to ignore the categories or return to your application to look like the iOS 18.2 update.
Here is what you need to know about messaging categories and how to deactivate the functionality so that your application looks like update.
What are messaging categories?
Messaging categories are similar to the categories you would find in Gmail. The application filters your emails in one of the four categories: primary, transactions, updates and promotions.
E-mails with receipts, as well as ordering and delivery information, fill in the category of transactions, and new, social and other subscription emails go to updates. E-mails with special offers and offers go to promotions, as you can imagine.
I do not know most of the offers I have received by email, but this coffee subscription is tempting.
The main category is more difficult to identify. Apple says in the application that primary is for “messages that matter most”. I used the redesigned application since its launch in beta version, and during this time, my main category was filled with my wife’s emails, customer service and even reimbursement information. It’s a bit of a tote category.
Can I change the category of an email?
You can for most messages but not all. Here’s how.
1 and 1 Press Mail.
2 Press the Transactions, Updates or Promotions tab, then press a message.
3 and 3 Press the three points (…) in the upper right corner.
4 Faucet Categorize the sender.
Promotions are suitable for this email.
Then you can manually categorize the messages of a sender given to another category. You can also recategrate an email from promotions to offers, then return to promotions. The only emails that cannot be reclassified are those of primary – which can be annoying.
Once, I ordered tickets for a show in a local theater, and the email was filtered at promotions. I moved the email with these tickets to primary, but now all the emails of this theater – including offers and sales – go in my main category. Not being able to change this categorization is boring.
How to disable mail categories?
If you don’t like messaging categories, you have some options to see all your mail at a time. The easiest way is to slip the category bar near the top of the mail to the left to reveal the All mail. Press this and all your mail will be displayed from top to bottom as each message arrives, but you will always see the tabs of the categories at the top of the application.
I prefer that this view of my mailbox is honest.
You can also completely delete the categories so that the application looks like update. Here’s how.
1 and 1 Press Mail.
2 Press the three points (…) in the upper right corner of the application.
3 and 3 Faucet List display.
Now your emails will fill the mail from top to bottom when they arrive in your reception box.
For more new iOS, here are my first impressions of the beta version of iOS 26, how to allow the screening of beta calls and all the new features that Apple said that it would bring to your device later this year.
