Q: Previous next arrows reversed in iOS 10 mail app

Hello everyone. Has anyone BUT ME noticed in the mail app the previous / next arrows are reversed??

When I'm reading my mail I usually click the LEFT arrow and it takes me to the NEXT email.

IT used to take me to the PREVIOUS email.  Now when I hit it, it goes to the NEXT email.

SInce we generally read from LEFT to RIGHT, I am assuming this is an error or a bug.

 

I Have updated to iOS 10.02  ( I think that's what it was. The SECOND  update). Since I noticed the issue is still there

I assumed no one noticed it. Or is it going to be this way FOREVER???? Not happy. Somebody help me please. Or maybe there's something I can do??

 

THanks guys.

    What is your definition of "NEXT email?"

     

    When I tap on the Right arrow, it takes me to the NEWEST email, which I would consider the "NEXT" email. When I tap the left arrow, it takes me to a previously read email, which I would consider the "previous" email since it is an email

    I have already seen.

     

    If by NEXT you mean the next email in the list of emails, then you have to tap the left arrow, as it is going backwards based on the time you received the email. So it is "next" on the list, but the arrows don't follow that logic. The right arrow goes to the newer email and the left goes to the older email.

    Left arrow is always for going back; right for going forward. That's a universal standard in all interfaces.

    You are lucky to have any.

    despite what the Apple documentation shows

    there are NO arrows on the iPad mail app
