Since upgrading to iOS 18 on my iPhone 14, when searching in Mail, the results are not returning in date order. Emails from 2021 onwards are showing first and then I have to scroll to find the most recent emails, which are then showing in ascending order. Any ideas?
iPhone 13, iOS 18
Is there a fix for this? Incredibly frustrating. When I search for a keyword, I get the most recent results at the top for a split second, but then older emails appear. I then have to scroll (sometimes quite far) down to the “Some results may not appear” message. Then under “server results” I see the most recent results. So how do I get the server results to appear at the top?
Where did you find “Summerize Message Previews” button? I’ve searched the Mail Settings but cannot find it anywhere. Can you please post a screenshot of it for those of us who are still searching for relief? Thanks.
Still not working properly with iOS 18.4. I now have recent messages at the top (bonus!), but when I scroll down I have 2023 followed by 2024 and then back to 2023. Perhaps it’s my fault for keeping messages for so long?! Is it just me or is anyone else finding more and more glitches with Apple products?
Go to Settings>Apps>Mail
I am using iPhone 16 pro
IOS 18.3.2
Tried your suggestion and it seems to have worked. Thank you.
This did not work for me, BUT, when I also clicked on organize by thread that worked. Who knows why?
i see a lot of the same problem- email search not showing in date sequence- but no apparent solution.
Where are the solutions or is there no fix?
Not for me…
I found by using the 3 dots top left of mailbox on iPhone choosing LIST puts the mail in proper sequence. Also in settings turn on ‘most recent update on top’.
fixed with update to iOS 18.4 for me
