In previous versions of iOS, you were able to delete e-mails from the Lock Screen. Now in iOS10, the only options are 'View' and 'Clear'. Seems really stupid if Apple disabled this function, as it helped manage the junk e-mail I get without having to go into my Mail and clean it up.
Thoughts?
iPhone SE, iOS 10
I am fighting the same issue. I think the solution is to move to Android since Windows is dead.
That would interest me, is really quite stupid.
In German:
täglich habe ich mit sehr vielen E-Mails zu tun. Ich konnte sie immer gleich im Sperrbildschirm löschen oder als gelesen markieren. Das ist jetzt nicht mehr möglich.
Jetzt muss ich jede E-Mail erst im Sperrbildschirm anzeigen lassen um sie dann löschen oder als gelesen zu markieren.
Warum wird so eine Funktion einfach entfernt ?
I'm suffering the same, Bob. An awful decision really...

This is really a pain in the ***, i hope they ll fix it in the next update 😟
Hey there HburgBob,
I understand that you enjoyed using the feature of iOS 9 that allowed you to delete email messages directly from the Lock screen on your iPhone. This feature is still present in iOS 10, but it utilizes the 3D Touch features of your device in order to access it. I see that your equipment tag on your post mentions that you are using an iPhone SE, which does not come equipped for 3D Touch, and this may be the reason that you are unable to access this feature.
As always, we appreciate any feedback that you'd like to provide. You can send your thoughts to us using this link: http://www.apple.com/feedback/
So, in fact - whilst doing us a "favour" Apple have taken away a very important facility. Unless I go out and buy some new hardware?
The SE is less than one year old.
DIsgusting.
My top of the range iPhone 6 128gb, my iPad Air 2 128gb - both unable to function as before.
A software tweak that's annoying us into buying more products that reallly are not required.
I have 3DTouch on my iPhone 7 w/10.1 and yes the feature is there... However even after deleting the email on the lock screen, (using the 3D Touch method), the email still does not delete from the inbox... I'm thinking Software issue or unknown new setting Issue? Anyway, always worked great on previoud IOS versions deleting emails from locked screen, but now it's a No Go. Any help or suggestions on how to get this feture working again, would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
anything new on this? Is delete on lockscreen with a swipe coming back?
Have you had a solution for this? My force touch delete option doesn't actually delete the email from the inbox.
How do you delete e-mail from the Lock Screen in iOS10?
