The Mail app in iOS 18.5 doesn’t start up correctly for some users.
The current version of iOS 18 was released on May 12, but reports of Mail freezing on opening started appearing on Apple’s community support site starting on June 4. Thus far, there are said to have been hundreds remarkably similar reports from different users, all echoing the same issue.
“Since I did the 18.5 update, the phone freezes every time I open Mail,” wrote user CPFC89. “It’s ridiculous [that] I have to keep restarting the phone.”
