mail app broken

Over the past few days, a growing number of iPhone users have reported
that the Mail app displays a blank screen upon opening, becomes
unresponsive, or crashes unexpectedly.

This issue appears to affect various iPhone models, suggesting it is a
software-related problem tied to iOS 18.5. Apple has yet to acknowledge
the issue.

Interestingly, while iOS 18.5 was released last month, widespread
reports of this Mail app issue have only surfaced recently. Users
across platforms like Reddit, Apple Support Communities and MacRumors
have been sharing their experiences, indicating that the problem isn’t
isolated.

While there’s no official fix yet, some users have found temporary
solutions, including restarting the iPhone, force-closing the Mail app,
disabling keyboard auto-correction and smart punctuation, and
reinstalling the Mail app.

However, these solutions are not permanent, and the problem often
recurs.

As of now, Apple has not officially acknowledged the issue. The
company’s System Status page does not indicate any problems with the
Mail app either, and there has been no official communication regarding
a fix.

In situations like this, Apple usually waits until it has a bug fix
roadmap before it says anything. Still, we asked Apple about it, and
will update this post if they respond.

- Meh... the Mail app's been broken for years.
- Good luck making push notifications work properly with Gmail.
- Been using a 3rd party app, not even the Gmail app, ever since the
second hour I got my first iPhone over 10 years ago.
- It's a mystery to me as to why so many iPhone users rely on the mail
app to begin with.
