Apple's latest iOS 18.3.2 update has caused email delivery issues for numerous iPhone users, with many reporting that their iCloud Mail notifications have stopped working properly.
Users across online communities have reported that new iCloud emails are no longer automatically appearing in their inboxes after installing the update. The problem persists even when push notification settings are correctly configured.
"New emails are not being pushed to my device, even though all the correct settings are enabled and it had been working fine on 18.3.1," reported one affected user. The only current workaround is manually refreshing the Mail app to receive new messages.
The malfunction appears specific to iCloud Mail services, as other email providers like Microsoft continue to function normally. Some users testing the iOS 18.4 beta version have encountered similar problems, suggesting the issue may extend beyond the current release.
Push notifications typically allow emails to appear instantly when received, while Fetch periodically checks for new messages. According to user reports, both delivery methods are currently experiencing difficulties.
Apple has not yet officially acknowledged the problem, though the widespread nature of these reports suggests a system-wide issue that will likely require a software update to resolve.
Until Apple releases a fix, users may need to regularly check their Mail app manually to ensure they don't miss important messages.
