The 18.2 update has totally ruined email. It is making it impossible to know if I am seeing all my essential emails as it is categorizing them in a very confusing way. If I am travelling or at work without access to my desktop -I am definitely going to miss important emails. I hate this feature and cannot find a way to opt out of it.
Turn off categorization: Open Mail, tap on the ⋯⃝ in the upper right, and check List View.
Yep! Problem solved. The solution has been provided many times, yet instead of reading to find the answer, some think that posting the same question is the answer. Once again you have provided the correct solution.

Yes. I see what you are saying.
I have multiple email addresses.
you have to do it for every different inbox.
i was doing it for all mailboxes and it didn’t work. Once I turned off categories for each separate inbox it worked for all my personal account, Gmail account and iCloud inbox
hope this help.
I was frustrated also!!!

Ironically, the iOS Mail app isn't on the link for product feedback - perhaps apple don't want their mailbox to explode. I went to leave feedback about the categorisation with apps, which I hate and wished I'd not updated my phone.
As it is a built in iOS feature, use iOS for product feedback.
While you can certainly leave feedback, you could just turn off categorization and also the avatars if you want to, which puts the mail app back to where it was previously.
What works for me is to just tap on of the top bubbles, e.g. Primary, and it switches to "All Mail".
Or, if you want this to permanently go away - basically restore how Mail was before the 18.2 update, do this:
A. Tap on the Menu icon in the top corner:
B. Then select List View
It will switch back to the usual view without the Categories on the top.
Hop this helps 😀

You have the same issue, but you didn’t read any of the 8 pages of the thread you just added to, which will tell you what to do to change the behavior. It’ all covered here→Use categories in Mail on iPhone - Apple Support

New email is dreadful have missed so many important emails now have to check all those icons ,
Or you could just turn off Categories and go back to the old list viewl
please change it everyone I know who has updated hates it what a waste of time
I don't. But again, if you don't like Categories, go back to the list view. You can do that yourself. Tap on the three dots in the upper right corner. Select List View. Have one less thing in your life to be angry about.

If you don't like the categories (I think they're fantastic), turn them off. Tap on the three dots in the top right corner of the Inbox. Select "List View".
I often find that I like things better if I take the time to learn how to use them.

on your iPhone. at the top of the screen on each different inbox , then choose List View.I had this issue as well where the number of unread emails doesn’t match what’s underneath. What may fix the issue is not just removing categories and list view when under “All Inboxes” but doing the same thing individually for each underlying email account. Once I did it for all three of my email accounts, it seems to match up.

Many people don't like updates and you see complaints after every one of them. You also see complaints when there are no updates or features added, so I guess either way complaints are expected.
My emails are going to the promotions folder after iOS 18.2 update
