IOS 10 iPad email next/previous message button gone

After upgrading to IOS 10, when using e-mail on the iPad, the next and previous message buttons are missing. They still show up on the iPhone.


Is there any way to have them show up on an iPad? It's a pain to always have to go back to the message list to go to the next message.


I know that in landscape mode, this is not an issue, but when reading e-mails in portrait mode I'm really missing it.

Just updated my iPad from 9.3.5 to 10.0.2 and immediately ran into this problem: where are the next and prev message buttons in Mail? I also prefer portrait mode when using Mail and browsers. I do not understand the rationality behind removing the buttons. As already mentioned, it is not an issue of screen real estate. Someone deliberated removed the code to support buttons from the app on iPads - fixing something that was not broken. Well, its broken now!

Instead of waiting out Apple and the iOS software team to straighten out all of the issues with the iOS 10 Mail app,

If want to bring back all of the previous goodness about iOS Mail and get a few more bells and whistles, in the process.


If you are a Google Mail, Yahoo Mail or Microsoft Hotmail user, here is a almost exact replacement for iOS Mail that adds back all of the missing functionlities in iOS 10 Mail app and adds even more.


Look at this nearly exact email app replacement for iOS Mail.

I really like this email app a WHOLE LOT better than the stock Apple iOS Mail App while still looking very much like the standard iOS Mail App.
