Why Mail app disappeared from iPhone?
If your iPhone Mail App is missing, you can’t access your mail accounts and get new emails. So, before you start troubleshooting the problem, find the root of the cause. The most probable reason is that you might have removed the app icon from Home Screen while customizing or have deleted it. Besides, the app may be restricted. If not, your iPhone maybe got some bugs, wrong settings, system crashes, update failures, etc. But don’t worry!
How to restore Mail app on iPhone
No doubt, the Mail app is essential in everyone’s daily life. I will share 5 tips to get the Mail app back on your iPhone.
1. Add Mail app to Home Screen
At times, the app is installed on your iPhone but not visible. I lost the Mail icon when I tried to create an empty Home Screen on my iPhone. So, I thought of adding it to the dock for quick accessibility. The Mail app icon will be added to your Home Screen. If you don’t see the option, it is hidden in a Home Screen folder. So, hold and drag the app icon back to your Home Screen. Also, you may relocate the icon according to your preference. Just press any empty space on your Home Screen until the icons jiggle, and drag the Mail icon. Sometimes we accidentally delete apps or use the Offload Unused Apps feature on iPhone. This can be the reason for the missing Mail app icon. So, to restore it, just reinstall the app from the App Store.
2. Reinstall mail app
Reinstalling the app may not always fix the issue. If you have opted for blocking inappropriate content, the Mail app can go missing from your iPhone.
3. Disable Mail in Screen Time
Now, check if the app icon is restored on the Home Screen. Sometimes different settings overlap and cause bugs that may result in missing app icons. Therefore, I suggest resetting your iPhone to get back to the default. You may opt for a factory reset or only reset the settings, which will not delete your files and media.
4. Reset All Settings on iPhone
5. Contact Apple
If no methods work for you, the only way open is to contact Apple Support. They will analyze your problem and suggest the most suitable solution. So, that’s all for today, folks! The Mail app is vital for everyone, so it needs to work correctly. I hope the tips helped restore the Mail app on your iPhone. If you are facing any other Mail app problem, comment below.
