ios 13 Mail swipe actions

I could swear there were more available swipe actions (delete? mark UNread?) in Mail prior to ios 13.


Weren't there? Shouldn't there be?

I have the same issue. Now it takes 3 steps to delete an email where it was just one swipe. Same with iMessage. I used to be able to swipe to delete the entire thread now it asks me 3 times before it will actually delete. Also missing the mass delete feature for message attachments. Surely Apple didn’t go backward on these features!

There is no swipe option to ‘delete’. I don’t want to ‘archive’. I used to be able to use “All Inboxes” to see iCloud & Gmail and I was able to delete as I read - no more. I have to double my efforts to look at each one. Plus, I have to be under Gmail “All Mail”, not just “Inbox”, to be able to delete.

When I finally CAN put something in the “Trash”, I can’t just “Select All” and empty the trash - I have to do each and every one with a separate swipe - - REALLY ?!?!

Y’all have done nothing but make things HARDER with this iOS 13 - and I really dislike/hate it !!
