Removing icons in Mail after iOS 18.2.1 update

Go to Settings > Apps > Mail and turn off "Show Contact Photos".

Re the mail icons: could someone please convey to Apple that not all iphone users are little girls and when they unilaterally change the format of system like email it causes one to consider changing brands of phone.

Speaking of email, for the tenth or so time, please do not label my email with “yesterday”, “Monday”, “Sunday” etc. GIVE ME THE DATE!!! I can handle it.

touché, Apple’s 10 year old programmers think these “cutsie” icons justify their jobs. Now to get rid of them in the mail header once you open the mail, and to get rid of having to hunt for things that were plainly visible before and are now 3 clicks/screens away. You’d think this was a MICROSOFT product the way it is becoming so cumbersome.

Seriously. I came to Apple a long time ago because I despise all things microsoft as well as the ongoing windoze travisty, but the last year Apple has been supremely annoying and i'm ready to go somewhere else. That goes for Mac, iPhone and iPad.

I hated those icons in the mail.

I still see them ! What gives you the right to F_ _ _ with my phone?
