What do people think about the new Category View in iOS Mail with version 18.2?

This might be something only a few people care about.

For me, I don’t plan to use it. Gmail already has something similar, and it stops me from seeing my emails in the order they arrived. I love the simplicity of the iOS mail app, which reminds me of the old Windows Phone email app from years ago. The standard email app on Android isn’t great, and most Android phones push Gmail as the default, which I don’t like.

I turned it off. It messed with the chronological order and made things more complicated. I find the filters useless, so I’ll leave it off until I can adjust them or they fix them.

I hate it. It didn’t categorize my emails the way I wanted. After spending time trying to organize it, I just gave up. The regular list view has always worked for me, and I don’t need categories. I don’t leave emails unread, so it’s easier to have everything in one list.

Honestly, I don’t like it.

5

I turned it off.

6

Great! I can now read all my emails and delete them without any hassle.

7

I was worried I was missing important unread emails. I tried to get used to it, but I still don’t like it.

8

Turned it off.

I don’t like it. Also, the icons next to my emails are too big and push the text too far to the right. They should either make them smaller or get rid of them.

Yeah, I turned off the categories after a few days and then got rid of the icons. They made the mailbox feel cluttered and stressful to look at.

Important emails got buried, and the wrong stuff was prioritized. The categories were limited, and the graphics were too big and colorful. I turned it off and prefer my email to be text-heavy and in chronological order.

Went straight back to list view.

13

Stupid. I went back to the normal view immediately.

14

Went right back to the list view.

15

I love it!

16

I don’t use it, but I saw one screenshot and already know I’d hate it.

17

I turned it off.

18

I don’t use it. I prefer to see my full inbox.

19

I don’t use it on Outlook or Gmail either.

I gave it a shot (I was on the beta), but turned it off. I didn’t like it when Gmail did it with labels, and I don’t like it here either. I prefer a chronological feed instead of a grouped one.
