Iphone mail app missing bottom bar

The frustration of a missing bottom bar in the iPhone Mail app!

Don't worry, I'm here to help you troubleshoot the issue. Here are some possible solutions:

  1. Restart your iPhone: Sometimes, a simple restart can resolve the issue. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the "Slide to Power Off" slider appears, then slide it to the right to turn off your iPhone. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until the Apple logo appears to turn it back on.
  2. Check for software updates: Ensure your iPhone is running the latest version of iOS. Go to Settings > General > Software Update. If an update is available, install it and see if the issue persists.
  3. Reset the Mail app: Try resetting the Mail app by going to Settings > [your name] > Storage & iCloud Usage > Manage Storage > Mail. Tap on "Reset" and then "Reset Mailbox" to reset the app's settings.
  4. Check for conflicts with other apps: Sometimes, another app might be interfering with the Mail app's functionality. Try closing all other apps and see if the issue persists. You can do this by double-pressing the Home button (or swiping up from the bottom of the screen on iPhone X and later) and then swiping up on each app to close it.
  5. Check for any pending updates: If you're using a third-party email account, check if there are any pending updates or issues with your email provider. Try logging out and logging back in to your email account to see if that resolves the issue.
  6. Try a different email account: If you have multiple email accounts set up on your iPhone, try switching to a different account to see if the issue persists. This can help you determine if the issue is specific to one account or a general Mail app issue.
  7. Reset all settings: As a last resort, you can try resetting all settings on your iPhone. Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap on "Reset All Settings." This will reset all of your iPhone's settings to their default values, so be sure to note down any custom settings you've made before doing so.

If none of these solutions work, you may want to consider reaching out to Apple Support or visiting an Apple Store for further assistance.
