Very frustrating we have to wait so long for those genimoji etc ai. Has anyone even been approved from yesterday?

I agree. It's really annoying me!

I’ve yet to be approved, perhaps this is their way of telling me to fix my sleep schedule. By the way it’s 3:47 AM

no visual intelligence on 15 pro? Is the effect the same as if you ask siri ‘what am I looking at’ from the camera view and she sends a screenshot to chatGPT?

Maybe someone with a 16 can compare the results?

for a reason unknown to me I use gmail on my iphone but mail on my ipad. Same account. Anyway..

Tried mail on my iphone with this beta - I quite like the headings although gmail kinda does the same already in its app. But I can‘t see anywhere to do a multi-select? especially for promotions I’ll often have lots in there at the end of the day so normally do a multi-select and mass trash move. If thats not available in that view it’d prevent me from using it honestly.

Click the 3 dots at the top right. If group by sender is selected, you won’t have the mass trash move option.

None on my 16pm either

So I know this is not iPad OS beta forum, but there's no beta forum for iPadOS... The new mail features don't work on iPadOS? That seems like a miss to me...

 

[john991]

Do you need wifi or cell data for genmoji, playground, etc?

I’m only getting new mail badges for those that fall into the “Primary” category.

Go into your Mail notification settings in the Settings app, then scroll down to the bottom to the Customize Notifications option. There’s an option to only see badges for Primary or All mail.

Mail
Hows categories working for everyone?

I can see all my emails in All Mail, but nothing actually gets put in categories, even if i manually select them, which is a very long winded way. That UX needs improvement.

Working great for me.

It’s a beta feature on a beta OS. Maybe something broke. Test the features that are available. Have some patience.

 

[Simacca]

I’m not sure if this has been addressed or if I made a mistake, but is anyone else not seeing badges on the Mail app? I switched to using all Mail, but I still don’t have any badges.

No badges here either.

Well let’s wait and see what the popular opinion is when all of the Apple Intelligence features roll out.

I’m of the opinion that the novelty will wear off incredibly quickly and the true vacuousness of Apple’s new Ai features will be all too apparent.

Perfectly fine to have opposing views of course. That’s want makes things interesting after all.

My point was this: the feature is not even 24 hours old; it’s a first beta, and most of us, by all accounts, can’t even try it yet. We really don’t know how it works and what it’s capable of.

Aside from that, Apple has a billion+ users. You may not find a feature useful, but millions of other people may love it or find it useful. I don’t find the Clips app useful at all, for example, but I am not angry about Apple including it because (A) I know there’s an audience out there for the app and (B) I can remove the app (which I have done).

Apple is nowhere close to Microsoft in terms of installing crappy bloatware. For that, I am grateful.

I got access to Genmoji/Playground immediately after install last night. Got a new work iPhone 16 today and have just requested access on that device so will see how long it takes.

Nor am I. Off to file feedback!

Interesting, is there way to turn off the new layout? I have work email on my phone, and it seems no email is deemed “Primary” for me.

Just tap the Primary icon (or whichever icon is active) and it will revert to all Mail.

 

[gwhizkids]

You can reclass mail as primary by opening it and hitting the 3 dots in the top right. If that doesn’t work for you, it appears you can turn it off by hitting the 3 dots in the top right on the main screen.

Oddly that seems to be missing now. I did it yesterday for several senders and now the three dots are gone.

It’s an iPhone 16 line feature only. Was announced at the iPhone event.

It’s beta 1. And it wouldn’t be the first time that the iPad gets features later.

I wonder in turning off/on the Apple Intelligence toggle in settings might trigger someone that’s been using Apple Intelligence for a while (like me) to get bumped up the wait list? Prob not. Might just put me back on the wait list for everything I already have (ChatGPT, Writing Tools, Visual Intelligence) 😃

Go to Settings > Notifications > Mail > scroll down to customize notifications

Make sure “all unread messages” is selected under badges…. Mine defaulted to priority unread messages after the update

I tried that last night. Don’t worry: it’s won’t take what you already have.
