Mail is completely missing from settings.

Hi Mikenal,

You don't need to reset or erase and restore original settings - or do anything drastic like that! All you need to do is go to the App store and download the Mail app again. I did that and it restored my mail icon and the mail category in Settings - and now I can send mail Photos again directly from my Photo app. (As a point of interest, I certainly did NOT delete my Mail icon accidentally or otherwise - it just disappeared with the last upgrade).

Hi Mikenal,

If you are having issues with your iPad's Mail application being missing from your applications as well as from Settings, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.

First, quit all running applications and test again -

Force an app to close in iOS

Next, I would try restarting and if needed resetting the iPad -

Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPad as a new device -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Best,
