Since the last update, every time I open mail floating small versions of some mail from somewhere appear floating on the bottom. I’ve tried turning off so many things it’s a wonder anything works. What is this and can I get rid of it? Thanks

Hello weepingbeech,


It sounds like what you are describing is a draft email or Mail windows.


To test this:

  1. Open Mail.
  2. Go to any mailbox.
  3. At the bottom left there should be two icons. One looks like two squares on top of each other. Press that. This link will provide a better look in the first image: Check your email in Mail on iPad
  4. If you swipe up. It will close anything open in another tab similar to how multitasking with apps work.


This feature is built-in to Mail and cannot be turned off. You can leave any feedback here: Product Feedback - Apple


If it is something else, let us know in detail what you mean be seeing.


Thanks.
