iOS 18.5 Sparks Trouble: iPhone Users Report Complete Mail App Failure

Tech News: Apple released the iOS 18.5 update for iPhone users with some new features and improvements, but now this update is becoming a technical headache. A large number of users are complaining that as soon as they open the Mail app, the screen goes completely blank, the app is hanging, or the app is crashing.

This problem is not just common but is becoming widespread and serious — and Apple is still silent on it.

What is the real problem?

After installing iOS 18.5, many users found that

• The screen becomes white (blank) as soon as the Mail app is opened
• The app sometimes freezes, and sometimes closes automatically
• The Mail inbox does not refresh, nor does any new email load
• Notifications are being received, but the content is missing within the app

This problem is especially serious for those users who use the Mail app for business communication or office email.

Apple's silence: growing resentment, breaking trust

The biggest shock is that Apple has not yet issued any official statement regarding this bug. Nor has any temporary solution or hotfix come out. This silence has increased both the resentment and panic of the users.

Users on technology forums, Reddit, and X (Twitter) have started questioning Apple's credibility—"How" can such a big tech company ignore such a basic bug?"

Will there be a solution in iOS 18.5.1 or 18.6?

Tech experts believe that Apple may soon roll out an emergency update regarding this bug through iOS 18.5.1 or iOS 18.6. Apple has a history of hastily releasing a patch for such glitches — but there is no confirmation yet.

What should users do right now?

Until Apple brings a fix, users may have to adopt these two options:

• Use third-party mail apps like Gmail, Outlook or Yahoo Mail
• Wait patiently for the iOS 18.5.1 update, which could come soon
