Apple Mail added four convenient new features in iOS 27
iOS 27 brings new features to Apple Wallet, Maps, Notes, Messages, and more—and it packs key upgrades for the Mail app too. Here’s everything new for Apple Mail in iOS 27.
If you have much history using Apple Mail, you’ll know that its search feature hasn’t always been the best. But in iOS 27, search has gotten a big upgrade.
More relevant search in Mail. A new ranking system brings the most relevant results to the top to help you find what you need right away — even if it’s buried deep in your inbox.
I can’t count the number of times search has previously failed to find messages that I knew existed. So far in my testing, iOS 27 seems to have fixed that.
Suggestions at the top of messages have been in Apple Mail for years. But in iOS 27, they get a new, more flexible design and expand to support third-party apps.
When Mail detects that you might want to take action on the contents of an email, a suggestion might appear at the top of the message. These include: directions in Maps, creating events in Calendar, tracking a shipment with Apple Wallet, and more.
In iOS 27, third-party apps can offer suggestions too. And when multiple apps are available with suggested actions, there’s a drop-down menu to show you all available options.
Smart Reply is a keyboard feature that automatically surfaces reply options you can utilize with a single tap.
In iOS 27, the next generation of Apple Intelligence comes with improvements to Smart Reply.
Apple says that Smart Reply “can now draw on a user’s personalized writing style.” Essentially, rather than offering fairly generic reply options, now Smart Reply suggestions will actually sound a lot more like you.
