What is causing email to download so slowly that it has virtually stopped since updating to iOS 15?
iPhone SE
The fix for me was disabling Protect Mail Activity. Settings/Mail/Privacy Protection/ and turn off Protect Mail Activity and Hide IP address. Now checking Mail in the app works as fast as it did in ios14.
When I updated to Ios15 one of the options I remember getting prompted for was more privacy around Mail so I said yes. It works so well apparently you can’t check or send gmail accounts in a reasonable time frame with the iOS mail app.
I tried most of the other things in this thread before hand and nothing worked. Try turning off that new feature for now and see if things start working better.
I switched to the gmail app. Problem solved. Let me know when apple gets their act together and I may switch back assuming I grow attached to the gmail app.
My new iPhone 12 has come to a stop while downloading emails. Only after the update to IOS 15
And after running a while I tested to block remote content and it is ok now. Not sure if this helps.
This does not work and is not a solution.
I am also seeing this issue. iPhone 11 Pro. iOS 15.1 - mail does not load as quickly as it did in 14/prior. Occurs on wifi and cellular data.
Turning off feature and security improvements should not be the answer. Apple needs to fix this. I find the google mail app works great as a replacement.
Same itstinks
I did what you suggested but it only seemed to work for a little while and now it’s back to “loading” forever.
I did that, nothing
There's a simple fix that worked for me. It's called gmail.
This is something Apple needs to address. Everyone has a different “fix” which works for awhile then stops.
Nothing worked for me- iPhone 13 Max Pro with plenty of memory- iOS 15.3.1 and mail has become unusable it’s so slow. Tried every solution listed here
Worked for me
thanks
Your tip is just marvelous. After updating to iOS 15.4, mail almost was not working. I even went to use outlook. After doing what you said, it returned back to normal.
thanks
Same here. Most times if I don’t open my app I don’t get emails. Sometimes I open my Mail app and get emails from an hour before. How am I supposed to run a business this way
Mail is slow since updating to iOS 15
