Apple is bringing an exciting new feature to its Mail app with automatic email categorization, already available on iOS 18, now set to make its way to macOS and iPadOS. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, macOS 15.4 and possibly iPadOS 18.4, expected to launch in April, will bring this functionality to desktop and tablet users.
A Smarter Way to Sort Your Inbox
Much like Gmail’s server-side sorting, Apple Mail will categorize your emails into “Primary,” “Transactions,” “Updates,” and “Promotions”, automatically. This feature aims to streamline email management by eliminating the need for manual sorting, which was previously available on iPhones.
Ease of Use
The feature is simple yet effective. You won’t need to worry about creating new categories, and the sorting is done entirely on your device. It’s also an optional feature, meaning you can opt in or out as you see fit. However, it only supports English-language emails for now.
How It Works on macOS
Although the iPhone version of this feature has been in use for some time, the macOS version will be an interesting addition for many, especially with how it integrates into the desktop experience. Apple’s approach ensures that sorting doesn’t require advanced hardware like M-series chips, which makes this feature accessible to a wider range of devices.
What’s Next for Apple Mail and Siri
Along with the new sorting features, Apple plans to introduce more context-aware capabilities for Siri in upcoming updates, such as contextual responses about your calendar or apps. These advancements are part of Apple’s strategy to enhance productivity for users, especially executives, managers, and HR professionals, who often deal with a high volume of emails.
Will You Be Among the First to Try?
With macOS 15.4 and iPadOS 18.4 just around the corner, the question remains, how will this new sorting feature transform your email management? Let us know your thoughts on this or any other updates from Apple.
