Batch deleting Yahoo email

I did the latest update yesterday on my iPhone 13 Pro Max and now I cannot select a batch of emails and delete them all at once. I have to slide them one by one to delete. Is anyone else having this issue and if so, is there a fix?

iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 17

Have you tried a simple Force Restart on your iPhone (something I do after EVERY iOS update)?


  • Press and quickly release the volume up button
  • Then press and quickly release the volume down button
  • Them press and KEEP HOLDING the side power button and KEEP HOLDING it past the swipe to power off and KEEP HOLDING it until you see the Apple Logo, then let go
  • Once you sign back in with your iPhone Passcode, see if mail works as it should

I use Yahoo Mail on my iPhone. When I open my mail, I still have the option to tap Edit in the right hand corner of my Inbox, which reveals circles on the left of each message, which I can tap as many as I want and then tap Trash once I've chosen however many email I want to delete.


Are you saying you can't do that on Yahoo Mail on your iPhone? I'm on iOS 17.2.1 on iPhone 15 Pro Max.

Managing multiple emails for deletion on an iPhone has always been a bit of a chore due to the absence of a batch deletion feature. Users are left with the choice of either painstakingly deleting emails individually or selecting them en masse and removing them in one go. Unfortunately, there hasn't been a dedicated option to efficiently handle bulk deletions, necessitating either laborious manual deletion or the selection of all emails for removal.
