Fetch or push mail iphone
The eternal struggle of managing email on your iPhone!
There are two main ways to manage your email on your iPhone: Fetch and Push. Here's a brief explanation of each:
Fetch:
Fetch is a method where your iPhone periodically checks your email account for new messages. This means that your iPhone will periodically connect to your email server to check for new emails, and then download them to your device.
Pros:
- Less battery drain compared to Push
- Can be more efficient for users with limited data plans
Cons:
- Your iPhone may not receive new emails immediately
- You may need to manually check your email to see if there are new messages
Push:
Push is a method where your email account sends new messages directly to your iPhone as soon as they arrive on the server. This means that your iPhone is constantly connected to your email server, and new emails are pushed to your device in real-time.
Pros:
- New emails are delivered to your iPhone immediately
- You'll always have the latest emails on your device
Cons:
- Can be more battery-intensive compared to Fetch
- May use more data compared to Fetch
To change the email fetch or push settings on your iPhone:
- Go to Settings > [your name] > Passwords & Accounts
- Tap on the email account you want to modify
- Tap on "Fetch New Data"
- Choose between "Push" and "Fetch" options
- Adjust the fetch interval (if using Fetch) or set the push frequency (if using Push)
Note: Some email providers, like Gmail, may have specific settings or requirements for Fetch or Push. Check your email provider's documentation for more information.
