Deleting Email in Notification Center - iOS 10

I have the same question. The UI changes on notification center are maddening. I actually downgraded to iOS 9.3.5 because of them. On 9.3.5 emails had three actions (X = clear, Mark as Read, Trash) and now in iOS 10 there are two (View or Clear) and if you click View you can access Mark as Read or Trash. So what used to be one click is now two. Doesn't sound like much of a problem until you deal with hundreds of emails a day. Moreover, it's not at all clear why Apple would do this. My best guess is that they wanted to jam more stuff into Force Touch. But even then, it's not at all more functional and usable. Instead it's just slower and more annoying. In this case, it's Force Touch as a solution runnning around looking for a problem.

Fix this Apple. I can't, for the life of me, understanding how any UI/UX expert would think this was a good idea. It's not like you to be this disconnected from your customers' experience.

Absolutely correct! When dealing with hundreds of emails in a day/week, doesn't make sense to make this functionality more time consuming. I can't understand why Apple would do this and inconvenience their users, it's no longer an easy Apple function to swipe and delete or swipe and mark as read. I am so annoyed I have no plans of going out an upgrading to a 7 when my 6+ works just fine. 😠

Not only for mail. All apps with rich notifications lost something. For example with Medium it was possible to bookmark an article from notification, but this featire is gone too since iOS 10 update.

It seems Apple deleted the access to these feature in non-3D touch phones.

I'm really disappointed about this. I can understand not have access to new funtions that require new hardware, but in this case is to delete a feature in my "old" iPhone 6 to force me to buy an iPhone 7.

Very disappointed, Apple!!!

You are absolutely right. It was very useful, but I think Apple is thinking only in selling lots of iPhones 7 rather than a good user experience.

Here's what I don't understand. Even in iPhone 7 (and/or with Force Touch) the experience still *****. Something that was a swipe and a single (instant) click is now a push (hold) and a click (then this annoying animated wait). It's unbearable. I could accept buying a new phone (but would hate it) but even for the latest model it's a regression. This is really frustrating. How do we get Apple to pay attention to this?

Go to apple.com/feedback. That's the only way they might see your suggestions or complaints.

You're right I've just left a feedback message to Apple about this issue.

I think all of us disappointed for this issue should do that.

100% agreed, and its not just older phones. Its iPads too, none of which, of course have 3D touch. Even if they are to release one, I am supposed to ditch my brand new Pro 9.7???

Just long press and it comes up. Don't revert back to the old version !!

Nope, long press does nothing

Yes, this is annoying. I believe that if you have a newer iPhone with 3D Touch, you probably get the options. Not great for those of us with an iPhone 6 who are not ready or willing to upgrade yet. Assuming Apple has a setting or will be doing an update shortly to allow those without 3D Touch to still have the ability manage app notifications etc. by swiping instead.

Maybe I haven't looked hard enough, but my fiance has an iPhone 6s (with 3D Touch) and it's the same annoying behavior except you push (vs. clicking view). While that sounds like a slight improvement it really isn't. The push forces you to really push hard (admittedly you can change this), you still have to click Mark as Read and wait for the annoying animation.

Are you guys saying that maybe there are settings in iPhone 6s to configure this to re-enable Mark as Read and Trash like it is on iOS 9? At some point my company is going to cut off support for iOS 9, which is terrifying. I've never thought about switching to Android but this one is really making me think I may have to go that route. I can't believe Apple would make something so ridiculously unusable. I'd like to meet the UX person who thought this was a good idea.

no, there is no option to make this action in ios 10 in ios 9, at least not that Im aware of (and thats exactly what I would want). I have a 7 now as well and force touch definitely makes it acceptable (but not great as point out) but that doesnt help me out on non force touch phones.

I downgraded my 6 based back to ios9 based on this, than upgraded back to ios10 again based on the earlier comment that a long press will achieve the same thing, which didnt turn out to the be the case, so now I have downgraded back to ios9 again.
