Hello T_Bishop,
Thanks for asking the Apple Support Communities for help with marking your emails unread.
1. Using the Apple iOS Mail app on your iPhone, you should be able to swipe and check your options. This article mentions this: Organize email in Mail on iPhone - Apple Support
2. If this is not functioning as shown in the article, since you just upgraded, it may be beneficial to reinstall iOS using iTunes. Before reinstalling you should make a backup of your data before the next steps. You can make a backup in iCloud or iTunes using this article: How to back up your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
3. After your data is backed up, you can reinstall iOS using iTunes. The reason we need to use iTunes for this step is to get a new copy of iOS installed to your device. Use this article to reinstall the iOS: If you can‘t update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Please pay close attention when you reach step 4. Once iOS is reinstalled, test if the issue is still occurring. Thanks again and have a great rest of your day.

Thanks for that. Yes, I have now found the three options by swiping left. As there is plenty of room along the bottom tool bar, I wonder why hiding them in this way was seen as an ‘improvement by the Apple developers’? Just annoying and pointless if you ask me.
