There are three inevitability in life: death, taxes and technological platforms bringing design changes that are universally hated. The last victim of this phenomenon is the Apple Mail application, which has obtained a major overhaul in iOS 18. This update also takes place on iPads and MacBooks.
The new Apple mail design separates emails into categories, such as primary transactions, updates and promotions. He also gives contact photos to each sender, who aligned himself with the new Brand features For companies in the iOS ecosystem.
While some users find the overly attractive and difficult to navigate overhaul, others find that they are more likely to miss important messages, which is naturally not ideal.
On social networks, besieged iOS users described this update as “completely unreliable“”indecipherable,” And “So ugly. “Some have gone so far as to wish that the UX designers of the application are”poop poop. “”
Fortunately, there is a way to deactivate these updates without manifesting this unthinkable rectal pain in the world.
- First, open your messaging application on iOS 18.
- Locate the three -point menu in the upper right corner of your screen.
- From there, select “View list” instead of “categories” as display.
Although this refers at least your reception box to the configuration that you had before, there are still a lot of visual clutter, because the contact photos always appear in the application. This can be practical when you send SMS via messages, because you probably have contact photos for your friends and family. But in your reception box, it does not really help to see a small bag with yellow provisions next to each e -mail of a retailer – especially since several technological blogs and newsletters, I subscribe to be reported with the same icon as H&M or anthropology, which are apparently a different type of business.
To get rid of contact photos on your iOS messaging application, follow these steps.
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
- Scroll down the screen, where you will see a section called Applications.
- In the applications menu, scroll until you find the messaging application (or just type the mail in the search bar to save you five solid seconds – life is short).
- As part of the list of messages labeled, activate the option that reads contact photos.
Finally, your messaging application is free to clutter – finally, with the exception of H&M and anthropology promotional emails that you don’t really open anyway. It may be time to unsubscribe from a lot of diffusion lists? You are alone for that one.
