iOS 16 has proven to be one of Apple’s most extensive and exciting recent updates. From customizing lock screens to editing messages, the Silicon Valley giant has listened to what many users have been talking about for years.
One of the coolest new features, however, is the ability to schedule your emails from the Mail app. Doing so is pretty simple, and this article will give you all the information you need to get started.
While you can schedule emails in Outlook on your computer, you cannot do so on the iOS app at the time of writing. If you use a Microsoft email account, the Mail app is the easiest way to delay your correspondences for another time.
If you use Gmail, however, you’re in luck. The Gmail iPhone app lets you choose the time you want to send your emails without too many issues. And since the Mail app connects Google accounts, you can choose whichever you feel is more convenient for you.
Which Devices Can I Schedule Emails On With the Mail App?
If your device supports iOS 16, you can schedule emails on the Mail app. Apple’s new software is available on all devices from the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus onwards.
Are you still yet to download iOS 16? No problem. Go to Settings > General > Software Update and follow the instructions from there.
