How to change email description iOS 15

I cannot find the setting that used to exist to change the email description in the Mail app. If you have multiple iCloud accounts you used to be able to change the names to make them easier to tell them apart but it’s missing in iOS 15.

My temporary workaround was instead of clicking “iCloud” when setting up your secondary emails, to use “Other” then “Add Mail Account” and add it manually. This way you get to type in a description for each account.

Are you able to sync contacts and calendars as well?


We have a family iCloud account for our shared calendars, contacts, notes which we normally add as a secondary iCloud account. It was easy to manage before because we would give it a unique name.


Hopefully Gets rectified soon, it seems silly that we have to use this type of workaround for something so simple.
