Disable Archive or Delete on Swipe Left in iOS Mail

There should be an option to disable swiping entirely.

iPhone XR, iOS 14

Archive swipe left option in Mail app on iPad Pro I somehow activated this feature on my iPhone 12 mini for my iCloud mail account. But when I look at my Swipe left options for in settings it’s not visible. I think there is somehow a different path to this setting. My swipe left option on my iPhone is set to ‘None’ but when I physically swipe left ‘Archive’ appears, just not on my iPad. Could someone please assist.

I want to go back to being able to “delete” mails by swiping left but since updating to 15.3 this has been replaced by “Archive” Suddenly on my iPad Pro 11” I am unable to revert back to a simple left hand swipe to the left to delete. It has been replaced by “Archive”which is time wasting and annoying. There is no problem with my iPhone 12pm which has had the same update. help would be appreciated.

Annoying swipe function on ipad email program When I go into my email program I sometimes accidentally touch an email and it swipes to the right and disappears. It appears that this is a way to delete messages quickly but it is a bit too quick for my liking and I want to get rid of it. Even more annoying is that I have set mail to ask if I want to delete but that doesn’t stop the messages doing the disappearing trick. Is there a way to stop this or is it just a bug that I have to put up with?
