Is anyone else having issues with Mail notifications on iOS 18.2? I'm only getting notification badges—no banners or notifications on the lock screen. I've double-checked my settings and even disabled notification categories, but still no luck. Screenshots of my settings are included. Any ideas?
iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 18
Go to settings-notifications-mail-customize notifications and change under badge count to all unread messages. After this, you should get the notification badge.

I am experiencing the same issue only with iOS 18.2 and iPadOS 18.2. I have iCloud, Outlook, and Exchange configured, with notifications set to Lock Screen, Notification Center, and Banners. "Customize Notifications" is set to "All Unread Messages," and all accounts are configured for Alerts and Badges. I’ve also tried "All Mail" and switching to List View in the Mail app.
The badges and banners display as expected when my phone is unlocked. However, when locked, I either sometimes see mail notices in the Notification Center, not at all, or with a delay of several hours. I’ve verified that Notification Center is enabled on the Lock Screen.
I reported this as a bug. It’s frustrating because, as a system engineer, I depend on timely mail notifications to monitor critical application processes.
I am having problems with mail on iOS 18.2. I have 3 emails and now only one shows up and no red notification on mail. Has anyone found a way to go back to the old mail? This one is stupid as I will decide which ones to open and delete.
Yes, turning Primary Inbox alerts to On in
Settings->Notifications->Notification Style--Mail->Customise Notification->Primary Inbox->Alerts
worked for me. I don't use Categories in my Inbox, I use old List View.
I have no audible email notifications since installing ios18 . Various updates and now iOS 18.2 . Still nothing. This will be my last iPhone . Apple keep messing and do more damage than good
I am using the same settings. I also reported it as a bug.
Had a similar problem only got the vibration, but no banners (and no** lock screen alerts). My fix which got the lockscreen alerts showing was turning on Primary Inbox notifcations to "On", i.e., go into that Primary Inbox sub menu area and turn on Alerts. Mine was off.
same for me. I restarted. I reinstalled some apps. I checked all my settings. Still not getting notifications.
I'm getting the notification sound but no banner on the lock screen. The banner displays when my phone is unlocked. This definitely seems like a bug in the new iOS.
That explains the notification badge new setting but there is a much greater problem of mail not downloading. Particularly Gmail. Fortunately I still have a n older device still on iOS 17 that I can receive all my mail fine.
Apple need to sort this quick.
I have tried everything, but cannot get all my emails. I said I would never do it, but downloaded google mail app and am able to review all my accounts along with showing only unread and how many unread. Don’t like it like my old mail but it serves my purpose for now.
VIP email notifications, specifically, on locked/sleeping screen are no longer working in 18.2. No suggestions here work.Downgrading to 18.1.1 does work, if you’re willing to go through the HUGE pain of that process.
I have tried all the suggestions and even deleted and reinstalled the app, but it is still not working properly. WHEN IS APPLE GOING TO RELEASE AN UPDATE TO FIX THIS ISSE? The notifications on all my other apps are working fine. This is a very basic function of what an iPhone should do.
This is driving me nuts. In IOS18.2, the unread badges in Mail only shows the priority emails. I’ve gone to settings-notifications-mail-customise notifications and changed under badge count to ‘all unread messages’. It still only shows the priority unread count. I do have multiple inboxes but that shouldn’t matter. I’ve rebooted my iPhone 15 pro and now updated to 18.2.1. I still can’t get the badges to show all unread emails. It’s really annoying. I may need to bin the new category feature and revert to list as I fear missing crucial emails.
I actually had a call back today from Apple , from an Ireland call centre.
The guy was thicker than pig ****. Un aware of any email notification problems . And didn't want to listen to the problem. Tried to actually talk down to me .
That didn't end well.
A totally pointless call. No wonder £1000 phones don't work
Mail Notifications Broken on iOS 18.2?
