Mail app is not working on my iPhone 15 after iOS 18.5 update

So earlier, I had posted that they had me delete the email account from settings then add the email again. It didn’t seem to work—even after a restart. Later, last night I restarted again, and since then, all has been good. (Hope I didn’t just jinx it.) If you want to try it, be sure you know your email password. Go settings—>apps (very bottom of page)—>mail—> mail accounts. Delete the account, then add again. Hope it works.

*** Workaround ***

Hi guys, I contacted my local Apple Support and they provided a workaround that fixed this issue on my iPhone:

Settings > General > Transfer or Reset [Device] > Reset > Reset Network Settings

You might want to give it a try...

This worked for me. Thanks!

Settings > General > Transfer or Reset [Device] > Reset > Reset Network Settings

More than 48 hrs later, mail app still working fine after deleting the account and reentering it. (I did not delete the app.) It did take the two restarts that I mentioned, but since then, all is good. Hoping I didn’t just jinx things.

Just happened to my iPhone13Pro today. Could not access emails on 3 Google accounts in my Mail App. I restarted the phone and it now seems to be working fine. Apple has "gone to the dogs" and is not as trustworthy as in the past. Now releasing updates that have not been fully tested. P's me off!

Did you try updating the mail app in the app store? This worked for me this morning.

Having the same issue - iPhone 13 Pro Max running iOS 18.5

In my case, running dark mode - I'll tap on inbox and either get a blank black screen, or it will load the inbox but not allow for scrolling or tapping on an individual email to read it. just seems to lock up.

Restarting the iPhone seems to be the only solution currently.

Same issues here with iPhone 12 and iOS 18.5. A reboot helped briefly, but frozen mail screen started again within a few times checking my mailboxes. I am at least able to download new mail after turning off WiFi and going into airplane mode. I then went back to mail app which prompted me for a network connection, turned airplane mode off and WiFi back on. Not a long term solution, but a bit better than the repeated reboots.

I tried deleting my mail account and adding back the mail account for the second time. I did power off and on after adding the mail account. So far, it’s been over 4 hours with no freeze up. I’ll give an update tomorrow. 🤞

Solution: Go to app store and update the mail app. The auto update doesn't seem to be working.

Settings > General > Transfer or Reset [Device] > Reset > Reset Network Settings

My wife's iPhone11 has this issue and this from SimplyMac seems to have resolved for now at least !

1. FIX AUTOCORRECT AND KEYBOARD ISSUES

• Go to Settings > General > Keyboard, disable features like “Auto-Correction” or “Smart Punctuation” as a temporary workaround.
• Add custom text replacements (Settings > General > Keyboard > Text Replacement) to manually override broken corrections.

Settings > General > Transfer or Reset [Device] > Reset > Reset Network Settings

Same on my iPhone 16e with iOS 18.5.

Mail works only a few minutes, than a blank mail-screen and it goes nothing in Mail.

Only restarting the iPhone helps.

Not good!
