Overview
- Reports of Mail app failures have surged this week, even though iOS 18.5 was released on May 12.
- The glitch has been observed on multiple iPhone models, from iPhone 12 through iPhone 14 Pro, indicating a software flaw in iOS 18.5.
- Apple’s System Status page does not flag any Mail app outages and the company has not publicly addressed the issue.
- Workarounds such as force-closing the app, restarting or force-restarting the device, and turning off keyboard auto-correction and smart punctuation provide only temporary relief.
- Many affected users are accessing email via web browsers or disabling their iCloud Mail account while awaiting an official fix.
