Missing 'Share' button for email printing after update on iPhone

After update, I no longer have the option to share. ie the square with the arrow on top.

When I press the 3 dots on the top extreme right, I get two options, categorise sender, and customise toolbar.

Customise toolbar doesn’t give share button as an option.

How can I get back to just a share button in the toolbar, that gives PRINT as an option?

The button is not on the toolbar. You have to scroll down to the very bottom of the email to see the "Arrow" icon (bottom left). Tapping it reveals the Print functionality as the screenshot I posted shows.

There is no square with an arrow for sharing anywhere. Craziest “improvement” I’ve ever seen, especially since I like to keep my screen locked in portrait mode. How inconvenient. I imagine it’s the same for an iPad.


Scroll to the bottom of the email message that you wish to print. At the bottom-right corner of the Mail window you will see a reply button; tap to expose the associated Action Menu.


Scroll through the available actions, then select Print.





This technique works in both Landscape and Portrait screen orientation.

Now this is very weird. I have just gone back to the mail option after reloading it from the App Store, and lo and behold, the icon has appeared. Hmm, you really have to use your own initiative to sort Apple issues, I have found!


earlier note - I agree, there is NO option, no icons at the bottom of any emails, I am really annoyed with Apple making this useless change

I have this same issue on my iPad following update to ios 26.0.1. It seems this issue has not been resolved x one person says this thing works, another says it doesn’t and that’s the end of the support. The original user has mentioned his problems and I have the same. There is no share button on the toolbar, nor is there a possibility to put a share or print button on the toolbar. There is also nothing that appears on pressing the reply, reply all or forward. The only way I can print this to access the menu bar where I can select print. Not good. Any assistance would be appreciated.
