iOS 27 is packed with powerful features like Siri AI and upgrades to productivity apps like Apple Mail, Notes, Reminders, and Calendar. But for many users, some of iOS 27’s best changes might be bug fixes that make apps run better than ever—here are three coming to Apple Mail.
There’s no shortage of new features in iOS 27. But Apple also took extra time with this update to make everything run smoother and more reliably than before.
It’s not often the company touts bug fixes as a feature, but that’s exactly what happened when iOS 27 was announced.
Among iOS 27’s quality-of-life improvements, there are three Apple Mail fixes that longtime users should appreciate:
These three improvements were highlighted on a massive slide containing hundreds of big and small iOS 27 changes.
Unread badge accuracy has been a personal pet peeve of mine for years. I keep badges disabled for most apps, but of those precious few where they’re enabled, Mail has been a top offender in showing a phantom badge or inaccurate number.
It’s similarly frustrating when messages in the inbox take too long to open, but Apple has sped up message loading in iOS 27.
One simple change will bring me back to Apple Mail. Treat attachments like attachments, don’t make it contextual.
And while your mileage may vary, I’ve found iOS 27‘s search improvements in Mail a noticeable upgrade.
These bug fixes join the handful of new features for Apple Mail in iOS 27. So if you haven’t used Mail in a while, iOS 27 could be a great time to revisit it.
