Apple Is About to Solve the Biggest Problem with This Popular iPhone App

If you don’t use the app, this new feature might tempt you back.

iOS 18.4 Mail app

If you use Apple Mail as the default email app on your iPhone, there’s good news on the horizon.

That’s because when Apple rolls out iOS 18.4, the next big software update coming to the iPhone, it’s going to deliver a simple but important feature to Apple’s Mail app that solves a long-running frustration.

It’s called “Delete or Move Message Action.”

, the “Delete or Move Message Action” feature changes what happens after you move an email to a different folder or send it to the trash.

To date, when you’ve done one of those actions, the Mail app automatically moves you onto the next email rather than a broader view of your entire inbox.

This is annoying and odd because you probably didn’t want to view the email that you’ve been automatically directed to. You’re then forced to return to your inbox and mark that previous email as “Unread.” Otherwise, it’s marked as “Read” and you (depending on how your inbox is set up) might disappear from view.

The “Delete or Move Message Action” feature solves this issue.

An upcoming change

Once running iOS 18.4, the Mail app will have a new setting option called “Delete or Move Message Action.” When selected, you’ll have the choice to “View Next Message” or “Don’t Select a Message.” The former is on by default, so you’ll want to change it.

Once “Don’t Select a Message” is selected, you’ll return to your inbox view after moving an email to a folder or sending it to your trash. Thank goodness.

You’ll be able to access this “Delete or Move Message Action” feature from the Settings app > Apps (located at the bottom) > Mail.

When’s iOS 18.4 coming?

I’ve been able to test this new feature by running the public beta of 18.4, which just rolled out this past week.

The mass rollout of iOS 18.4 is expected sometime in early April.
