Q: iOS 10 Mail App lock screen notifications

Am I the only one who thinks the appearance of the Maill app notifications on an iPhone 6 in iOS 10'is ridiculous? Each one comes in so huge it takes up half of the notification real estate.  Is there a way to make them nice and short like they used to be, or like any other apps just two lines? Iis it a bug perhaps?

    Again, that works for the lock screen but not the Notification Center. So now we have to choose between less information or WAY too much. This is not a positive change.

    You should be able to go to:

    1.Settings

    2.Mail

    3.Under Message List select Preview

    4.Change to 1 line

    But then it just shows the sender.

    In iOS 9 we had sender and subject line, which is what we still want.

    I have it set to 1 line and can see the sender, the subject and one line of text from the email itself. This is the smallest option.

    Thank you, As you say, it's not perfect, but a lot better than all or nothing!

    This only affects the listing of emails in the Mail app for me. It does not affect the notifications. Mine is set to 'None' and whatever I set it to, I still see the huge notification boxes with HTML in them.

    This is my experience as well, Paul.  The only way to truly "fix" it, for me, was to hide previews and to remove mail notices from the Notification Center.  That's hardly an enhancement.

    Thank you for the reminder. I am thinking that the installation of the new iOS reset the "preview" option because mine was set to "on" for all mail and messages. The only outstanding issue is my Outlook App, and I'm guessing MS needs to make the update for iOS in order to change that setting.

    I agree, this is very bad design. If you turn off the "Show Previews" feature as mentioned then what you end up with is a small box that shows the Sender, and then "Mail Message" and "No content to display", which ends up taking more screen space while showing less info than on iOS 9, where it at least showed the Subject line. Very poor design and QA in my opinion.
