Cannot print email in iPad os26

In the latest version of the iPad operating system 26, I am unable to print an email message. I cannot see any icon or other button that would allow me to print the message. I guess if I want to print it, I will need to go to my Mac.

The location of the Print option in the apple Mail app on iPad has not changed in like 6 or 7 years.


It can be found at the bottom of the email message you want to print by tapping on the arrow pointing to the left.

there and then scrolling to the bottom of the menu that appears.


Again, this has not changed in a long time. iOS 26 did not move it in any way.

It's been exactly the same since around iOS 13.

Scroll to the bottom of the email message that you wish to print. At the bottom-right corner of the Mail window you will see a reply button; tap to expose the associated Action Menu.


Scroll through the available actions, then select Print.

The reply button is now at the TOP and no longer has any option for printing.


Ignore the reply button within the toolbar at the top of the Mail reading pane.


Instead scroll to the bottom of the email message within the reading pane - where at bottom-right you will find another reply button (see my screenshot within this thread). Touch-and-hold this reply button to expose the Action Menu - where you will find the Print option.

I’ve searched all over to resolve this issue for myself and I stumbled on this by pure accident. To print an email YES you have select the REPLY. The trick is to find the CORRECT reply button. What I stumbled on was to simply open the email then start swiping the body of the email to the LEFT and you will see two options, the first being REPLY. Tap that and you’ll be able to select the print option.
