iOS 13.1 cutting off text of forwarded emails?

Since moving to iOS 13.1, my iPhone 7 has been cutting off emails that are being forwarded when using the Apple Mail icon on the iPhone. If you look at the forwarded email, it only includes the subject line of the earlier/previous email and cuts off the rest of the text of the email. I changed the iPhone setting to use "Complete Threads" and that seemed to resolve it, but then the issue came back, so I had to turn the iPhone completely Off then back on. Turning off and on seemed to resolve it temporarily. Is there a permanent fix to this email problem? Thanks!

Hi,

I have found this also. It's definitely an iOS 13 issue (along with lots of other new Mail app bugs that are annoying - so much so that for my personal iPad and email I have moved to using the Outlook app), and needs fixing. I have to use the Apple Mail app for my work iPad and iPhone, and have discovered a workaround in the meantime....


Click on the email you want to forward.

"Select All" text in the email.

Now click on the (arrow and) "Forward" button.

Now you should find all the email below as normal.

I've been on the horn to Apple multiple times and have provided them with analytics and even went as far as to record my screen to give them a visual of the problem. Last contact was last Thursday.


I get the impression that the "squeaky wheel gets the oil " at Apple so just bombard them with phone calls and eventually they'll get their heads out of their butts and fix the problem.


I use the iphone as a business tool and couldn't care less about the fluff they seem to focus on in updates. Seriously looking at another platform

I have installed the latest update, and it does sort out about 95% of the mail issues. Only minor bug I have experienced now is when you get to the last of your unopened emails, read and then delete it, whilst it displays an email in the viewing window, it doesn't highlight/select the relevant email in the email list on the left. However it does open, mark as read, and move to next unopened email (on deleting the previous one, for example) correctly now. Not sure yet if it has also stopped sending same email twice.

We've had a few users, all on Office 365 Enterprise plans, where forwarded emails are missing the previous content. This continues to happen even on the latest iOS 13.2.3 and we have removed/readded the O365 account several times to no avail. It doesn't happen on every email, just some of them (can't quite find the pattern).


The workarounds are annoying and aren't suited for non-technical users, not to mention, should be completely unnecessary.

13.3 brought back some of the issues that were resolved in 13.2.3 (see my previous post that has detail). This whole thing is a joke. Get it together Apple.


So far in 13.3:

  • forwarding and responding to messages doesn’t include embedded photos.
  • forwarding and responding to emails truncates original message.
  • sent items don’t refresh.


I’ll just keep saying it ... disappointing.

Why isn't Apple owning this? This is a huge issue and continues to tarnish the reputation of Apple, especially since their support won't admit it is a bug in the first place. They tried to blame Microsoft Exchange and told us it is an issue with our environment. It is currently affecting my CEO who wants everyone to switch to Android ASAP since it inhibits employee productivity.

Called Apple Support today and they were also claiming that it was the Exchange and MDM solution at fault. How is this possible when we had no issues with previous iOS 12 releases and also its all over the net with people have issues with emails on IMAP and POP (Gmail\hotmail) etc....


Becoming a joke and been told by our Senior board members to get this resolved or its all Androids to be ordered next week. Thats about 300 devices...
