You should be able to tap the junk box, tap edit, tap the messages individually or select Delete All, then confirm.

All it does it move all the junk mail into the trash. So all the spam is now being mixed into regular ‘NON junk’ emails within the trash folder !!! Prior to iOS 13 the junk mail folder allowed a simple select all and delete permanently. Now the junk mail emails u select to delete just get moved to trash and you have to delete the spam from there.

Before 13 the standard Apple mail app allowed you to simple select all junk mail directly in the junk folder and delete all of them. After 13 the junk emails now just get moved from the junk folder to trash. Where u have to delete again. But now you have all spam/junk emails mixed in with your trashed messages making it a disaster to sift through if you mistakenly trash a email that u needed. Terrible problem

Exactly. That’s my problem and I don’t like having to go through the junk that I didn’t want to see in the first place. That’s why I pegged those to be delivered to junk. I did find on my Mac mini an option to erase all junk mail. So I can use that instead of my phone, but why change the phone option. That was not an upgrade for me. Hopefully Apple

I just upgraded to OSCatalina. I have tried to delete my junk folder and instead it wipes out my INBOX! It has happened twice in 2 days. From my iphone 11pro max


HELP! I had my laptop nearby and selected all in the inbox and moved them to another folder but this is terrifying PLEASE FIX THIS. I'M A REALTOR and I am legally REQUIRED to maintain communications.
