Archive swipe left option in Mail app on iPad Pro

I somehow activated this feature on my iPhone 12 mini for my iCloud mail account. But when I look at my Swipe left options for in settings it’s not visible. I think there is somehow a different path to this setting.


My swipe left option on my iPhone is set to ‘None’ but when I physically swipe left ‘Archive’ appears, just not on my iPad.


Could someone please assist.

iPad Pro 12.9-inch Wi-Fi

Hello AlexanderLG,


To help resolve this issue, check the settings for your iCloud email account by following the steps below:

Archive instead of delete
You can archive emails in the Archive mailbox. (You can still choose to delete emails, even if you set up an Archive mailbox.)
1. Go to Settings  > Mail, then tap Accounts.
2. Do one of the following:
• If you’re using an iCloud email account: Tap iCloud, tap iCloud again, then tap iCloud Mail.
• If you’re using another email account: Tap your email provider, then tap your email account.
3. Tap Advanced, then change the destination mailbox for discarded emails to the Archive mailbox.

Best Regards.
