iOS 27 brings a set of new features to Apple Mail, along with broader upgrades across Apple's system apps. The most noticeable change is search. Apple says a new ranking system surfaces the most relevant results first, even when a message is buried deep in the inbox. Early testing suggests the search feature has finally become reliable enough to find messages users know exist.
Suggestions at the top of messages also get a more flexible design in iOS 27, and they now extend to third-party apps. When Mail detects that an email might call for action, it can offer directions in Maps, event creation in Calendar, shipment tracking with Apple Wallet, and more. When several apps offer suggested actions, a drop-down menu lists every option.
Smart Reply is also improved. Powered by the next generation of Apple Intelligence, it can draw on a user's personalized writing style, so suggested replies should sound more like the user and less like generic text. Apple has also added "Ask Siri" buttons throughout Mail, enabling tasks such as deleting all messages from a spamming sender.
Beyond new features, Apple says iOS 27 makes Mail run better through bug fixes and performance work. Highlighted improvements include faster message loading, more reliable search indexing, better list formatting, and more accurate unread badges.
