Q: Deleting Email in Notification Center - iOS 10

Hi everyone,

 

I recently upgraded to ios 10 and while it's great on a few things, I find it not so great for my email and the notification center.

 

Using the previous version of iOS, I would view my notification center and it would show me all the most recent emails that came in.  Any email the I wanted to mark as read, I'd swipe right and mark as read or any email that I wanted to delete, I'd swipe left and delete.  I was email to breeze by and clear through several emails using this method.

 

Now, when I see the email in the notification center, I swipe left, and I have VIEW and CLEAR.  I know that clear, clears that notification away and view, opens up a little sub window where I have the ability to then "TRASH" the message if I don't want it.  While this feature is fine, it's a little annoying to go through this process 100 times where as the previous method was bam bam bam.

 

Any way to get that old way back again!?

 

Thank you, Dov

iPhone 6, iOS 10

    I have the same question. The UI changes on notification center are maddening. I actually downgraded to iOS 9.3.5 because of them. On 9.3.5 emails had three actions (X = clear, Mark as Read, Trash) and now in iOS 10 there are two (View or Clear) and if you click View you can access Mark as Read or Trash. So what used to be one click is now two. Doesn't sound like much of a problem until you deal with hundreds of emails a day. Moreover, it's not at all clear why Apple would do this. My best guess is that they wanted to jam more stuff into Force Touch. But even then, it's not at all more functional and usable. Instead it's just slower and more annoying. In this case, it's Force Touch as a solution runnning around looking for a problem.

     

    Fix this Apple. I can't, for the life of me, understanding how any UI/UX expert would think this was a good idea. It's not like you to be this disconnected from your customers' experience.

    Thanks for the reply.  How did you downgrade. Was it easy?  I would like to do this as well.

    Absolutely correct!  When dealing with hundreds of emails in a day/week, doesn't make sense to make this functionality more time consuming.  I can't understand why Apple would do this and inconvenience their users, it's no longer an easy Apple function to swipe and delete or swipe and mark as read. I am so annoyed I have no plans of going out an upgrading to a 7 when my 6+ works just fine.

    Not only for mail. All apps with rich notifications  lost something. For example with Medium it was possible to bookmark an article from notification, but this featire is gone too since iOS 10 update.

    It seems Apple deleted the access to these feature in non-3D touch phones.

    I'm really disappointed about this. I can understand not have access to new funtions that require new hardware, but in this case is to delete a feature in my "old" iPhone 6 to force me to buy an iPhone 7.

    Very disappointed, Apple!!!

    You are absolutely right. It was very useful, but I think Apple is thinking only in selling lots of iPhones 7 rather than a good user experience.

    Here's what I don't understand. Even in iPhone 7 (and/or with Force Touch) the experience still *****. Something that was a swipe and a single (instant) click is now a push (hold) and a click (then this annoying animated wait). It's unbearable. I could accept buying a new phone (but would hate it) but even for the latest model it's a regression. This is really frustrating. How do we get Apple to pay attention to this?

    Go to apple.com/feedback. That's the only way they might see your suggestions or complaints.

    Ya, it's pretty ridiculous. Not sure why Apple decided to go with this new approach and choose to ignore a quick way to manage emails.  Not only did they do this, theyve also allowed the notifications to be mixed up with all other notifications as opposed to group them by app.  Come on Apple fix this.

     

    Thank you, Dov

    You're right  I've just left a feedback message to Apple about this issue.

    I think all of us disappointed for this issue should do that.

    100% agreed, and its not just older phones.  Its iPads too, none of which, of course have 3D touch.  Even if they are to release one, I am supposed to ditch my brand new Pro 9.7???

    Yes, this is annoying. I believe that if you have a newer iPhone with 3D Touch, you probably get the options. Not great for those of us with an iPhone 6 who are not ready or willing to upgrade yet. Assuming Apple has a setting or will be doing an update shortly to allow those without 3D Touch to still have the ability manage app notifications etc. by swiping instead.
