One of the most popular native Apple applications is Mail, which has been completely improved with the arrival of new operating systems, including functions that all users have been crying out for. For this reason, in this post we are going to tell you how you can make use of one of these novelties, specifically we want to tell you how you can program an email from your iPhone with Mail.
The leap in quality of Mail
The Mail app was born in 2003, several years before the birth of the first iPhone. However, for many years, the Mail application has been in a process of small updates with minimal changes or new features that did not provide interesting solutions to users, leaving it behind the competition. However, in June 2022 Apple presented the new operating systems of its different teams, where this app underwent a major update in all the company’s operating systems.
Among all the novelties that the Mail application presents in these new operating systems, the most striking and the one that users will use the most is the possibility of scheduling emails. Therefore, below we want to tell you step by step what you have to do to carry it out.
- Enter the mail app of your iPhone. If you don’t have it downloaded, you can download it from the App Store.
- If it is the first time that you open the app, you have to enter the email from Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo or the mail sending system that you use the most today. If you do not have the Gmail account activated in Mail, you have to go to Settings, accounts and activate it.
- Click on the compose option
- After composing the email, press and hold the send button and several options will appear: “Send now”, “send tonight”, send tomorrow or send later”. The last option allows you to send mail at the time you deem appropriate.
- After that, a calendar will open where you can choose the day and time the email will be sent. Press and hold schedule the sending of the message.
Is Mail today an alternative to Spark?
Definitely yes. However, the main problem that Mail has with respect to Spark is not the functionalities, but that Spark has been including them for many years and has managed to generate an ecosystem with its users that many of them will not want to migrate to another application, even though be native to Apple, because they have an alternative that works really well and is integrated into your workflow. However, Apple has released this version at a time when iPadOS has to really answer whether or not it is the true substitute for a computer, so the Mail application has to function as a true reference for management use. and get new users to use the Mail app and not the Spark app.
Finally, remember that if you want to use this new Mail feature you have to have the iOS16 or iPadOS 16 beta installed. If not, you have to wait for the launch of the new iPhone 14, which is when iOS 16 will be released, or until October with the release of iPadOS, which will also be accompanied by new iPad models.
