Well, I'm going to disagree that it puts everything back to how it was before they came up with the category assignation at least on my device with the settings I'm using. As I stated, the majority of my messages in the native Mail app now contain one of the four auto assigned categories even with the List view setting.

Correct, it does not indicate which is selected, but that does not mean you can't go to "List" and double tap on it which puts everything back as it was.

Thanks, Malcolm. I just got off the phone with Apple Accessibility and was told with that More context menu in the native Mail app that a box or button is marked below either Category or List view to indicate which one is selected. I informed the agent that VoiceOver isn't announcing the selection and that she needed to make a note of it and have it addressed since those of us using our ears have no clue what the setting is.

On my iPhone 15 Pro Max running iOS 18.3.1 VoiceOver does not announce whether categories or list is selected from the menu that More brings up.

My conclusion is that even with List biew selected in the native Mail app, users of different devices are getting different results with the categories being assigned. I'm using an iPhone 13 Mini running iOS 18.3 and even with List view selected, all of my Groups.io email list messages have assigned categories. However, none of the messages in this viphone Google groups thread have a category. I was unable to change any Mail settings with the help of someone knowledgeable from Apple Accessibility to prevent the category assignment on my device and she concluded that it was expected behaviour. I've gotten used to the categories but I don't like that on my device, when I execute the More button to access either Category or List to make my choice, VoiceOver no longer indicates which one is selected. Will others reading this please respond whether your device announces which is selected and what device and iOS you're running and what VoiceOver announces when the choices in the More context menu have focus?

Anna, I am curious about what you said about "your messages will still have category labels". I don't experience this and I wonder why.

Hi,

 

Open a mailbox and choose the More button near the top of the screen. Choose List view. Then your messages will still have category labels, but they'll be listed in the usual order.

 

Best,

Anna

Sorry, as I’m sure this has been covered before, but last night my iphone updated to the latest software and I really don’t like the way my e-mails are now displayed. Could you tell me please how to return them to their previous display settings?
