Thanks for getting back to us, Mwbbar.


To better understand, emails that you receive only have bold headings? Is the the same for every email? This could be something the sender has done. If this is for composing an email, are you using the steps here to use the Bold format? Send email in Mail on iPhone - Apple Support


"Write an email message

  1. Tap the Compose button.
  2. Tap in the email, then type your message.
  3. Tip: With the onscreen keyboard, try sliding your finger from one letter to the next to type, lifting your finger only after each word.
  4. To change the formatting, tap the Expand Toolbar button above the keyboard, then tap the Text Format button.
  5. You can change the font style and color of text, use a bold or italic style, add a bulleted or numbered list, and more.
  6. Tap the Send button to send your email.
  7. Note: If you forget to add an attachment or recipient that you mention in your message, you may get a reminder to add them before sending."


If not, can you provide more details about the issue. The more details the better the Community can assist.


Cheers!

Hello Mwbbar,


Let's use the steps below to make sure your iPhone 12 is all up to date:


1. Back up your device using iCloud or your computer.
2. Plug your device into power and connect to the internet with Wi-Fi.
3. Go to Settings > General, then tap Software Update.
4. If you see more than one software update option available, choose the one that you want to install.
The Settings app on iPhone showing options to update to iOS 15.7 or iOS 16.

5. Tap Install Now. If you see Download and Install instead, tap it to download the update, enter your passcode, then tap Install Now. If you don't know your passcode, learn what to do.


You can also find those steps in this resource: Update your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


If your iPhone is all up to date, let's also restart: Restart your iPhone - Apple Support


1. Press and hold either volume button and the side button until the power-off slider appears.
The volume button is located on the left side of the device, and the side button is located on the right

2. Drag the slider, then wait 30 seconds for your device to turn off. If your device is frozen or unresponsive, force restart your device.
3. To turn your device back on, press and hold the side button (on the right side of your iPhone) until you see the Apple logo.


Updating and restarting can sometimes help address odd behaviors.


Should that still persist, is this behavior occurring with multiple apps?


Let us know, and we'll keep moving forward from there.
