iOS 13 Mail - Move Message To Junk Folder

In iOS 12 I could easily move a message in Mail to junk with a couple of taps.


In iOS 13 I now have to press the reply button on the bottom right of the screen, scroll down the options so that 'Move to Junk' is displayed, then tap again to move it.


Only an additional 'scroll' I know, but is there any way I can change settings to make this easier?

Had the same problem and just found out how to move message.

in an email you want to move to junk (or any other folder for that matter), just do a long press on the “reply” arrow. It will bring some options to you, including “move message”.

Yes, I'm sure you will see a flood of angry users about this change. And why, now there is a bunch of white space on the bottom of the screen when viewing individual emails. So you just moved everything under one button making it less efficient. It's obvious that the product owner of this does not deal with a lot of emails, as nobody would have made this change. I literally go through and file away 300+ emails a day. Yes, as another user pointed out, it's just an additional scroll, but that is a significant waste of time. The pop up with all the various options is great. The design should have been to leave 1.) a reply button 2.) the file/move button and 3.) MORE (with all the additional options). This is such a minor thing, but it's going to annoy the heck out of corporate users using this, which are typically the users which are having to file through hundreds of emails a day. The only other button that was left is the delete button. So I'm guessing the product owner though, well, they can just delete the email. at least that wasn't moved under the reply button, or this would be REALLY painful.


I hope this thread gets some traction. I personally had to search a few different ways before I was able to find this. Trying searching google for "new apple ios 13 mail app missing button move on individual mail screen". lol. It's a miracle I found this page.


PLEASE bring it back. Even better, which I thought may have been the intention was that you could CUSTOMIZE which buttons were in that bottom bar. That would be great. This change was obviously not user tested. Sometimes I wish I could quit my day job and just be a product owner/advisor on the 5 apps I use most in my life. ;)

There is no simple fix to help adjust to this change. Daily hundreds of times a day it’s annoying waste of time trying to organize incoming emails into folders on iPhone with iOS 13.1.2. Adjusted swipe left and right menu but still huge mistake by Apple doing this with iOS 13. No one wants to just archive emails not organized. I use over 20 email addresses to help organize emails I send and receive then lots of folders for each email address. I do this so when I need to find something I can find it quickly because it was organized the first time and not just generically archived.

... and whatever functionality is left does not work at all sometimes... cannot trust it any more. Sometimes it deletes email as asked, sometimes it does not... emails deleted reappear, emails moved to folders (with newly required effort) do not get moved, have to go back to native interfaces (like gmail, or other email services) to actually make things right... oh McIntosh, it is very messed up... !!! No bueno!
