iCloud emails on my android won't open.

I can log in and display my iCloud emails (on my Samsung S23 Android phone) but they won't open when I click on them. It's not the keyboard because I can compose a new e mail. This has never happened before. How do I fix this?

I found a way to open it:


You have to make a double click on the mail really fast (instantly) but not on the same spot.


Use your 2 tumbs to spam click on the mail very fast alternating between right and left.

You cannot use one tumb since the 2 spots need to be apart from each other and and the second click must be right after the previous without any delay.


Elsewise use the forwarding workaround, but it didn't let me open embeded links.

Samsung internet and google chrome:


While I don't have a solution, I noticed that it's seems to be related to the "DESKTOP VIEW" in the settings for the browser. When I turn it off amd use "mobile view" I can scroll the emails though still not open them.


I can open an email if i catch it while it shows on screen as a pop up.


Email apps work fine (just web browsers).


Firefox:

Does not work in desktop form but works if open in mobile view.


Also there is this weird looking icon with a rectangle and little horizontal lines when in the desktop view.

SOLUTION: There are two things you can do and the first one is what I prefer:


1) The button is just shrunk to probably a dot, and the dot is positioned at the left corner of every mail. Try to tap around the Blue Dot that depicts unread mail. I start by tapping on the blue dot, and downwards and then the mail opens.


2) When you are on the dashboard window of the icloud (where you can see only 3 mails) you can enter the mail from there. Then you keep tapping on the down arrow "v" symbol on the toolbar on top right corner of the mail to go to next mails and so on.

Hey y'all. I'm not sure if Apple put out a fix for this yet. I'm still having this same issue. So here's what I have to do in order to view my emails from the web browser.


I go to my mail widget on the icloud page and tap the email I want to view. Then when you're in the email, you can navigate between emails using the links at the top right. See pics for reference.


I hope this helps someone. I won't give up my android phone until Apple allows us to clear apps cache and data like android, plus other items.
