Smarter inbox, less hassle

Yahoo Mail’s latest app update brings AI-driven tools to mobile, making it easier to handle a busy inbox efficiently and easily.

“We know people struggle to keep up with their inbox volume and with organizing the messages that matter most,” says Rob Gelick, Yahoo Mail’s General Manager.

“We want to make email more manageable, useful, and feel less like ‘work’ by powering the experience with AI features that make reviewing emails fast and efficient.”

AI summaries & suggested actions

The new update provides one-line AI-generated previews that help users quickly understand email content and recommend actions, such as tracking packages or RSVPing, directly from the inbox.

Interactive, messaging-style design

The updated design now resembles a chat interface, making it easy to compose and reply while tailoring message tones to fit different contexts.

Users can organize their inbox by sender, content, or custom topics and unsubscribe from unwanted emails with a simple tap.

Gamified inbox cleanup

A gamified approach to inbox cleanup encourages users to delete, archive, or mark emails as read in seconds, transforming inbox management into an engaging experience.

Multi-account convenience

Users can link external accounts, such as Gmail and Outlook, to manage all their email from one Yahoo Mail app, streamlining access without requiring a Yahoo account.

iOS rollout, expansion on the way

Currently available for iOS users in the US, Yahoo Mail’s revamped app is set to expand to more platforms and introduce additional features soon.

This mobile update builds on the AI-powered desktop redesign, enhancing the Yahoo Mail experience across devices.
