Automated email categories is one of those features that lives on execution. And I feel like I'm going insane (because I haven't eaten
dinner) because iOS has rolled out automated email categories despite the fact that they don't work. And emails like "[Action Required] Mandatory multi-factor authentication" are "Updates" not "Primary" so the categories feature is unusable. Because only the primary inbox can be filtered, so even if I flag an email and mark it as unread, it's gone forever unless the automated magic BS black box has decided that it's "Time Sensitive." I can recategorize the *sender* but that's useless because "Google" sends me both "New sign in from unrecognized device" and "Mandatory 2FA for access to Google Cloud Console." So my only option is turning off the categories feature for all accounts.
Anyways this will never get better because there's a super easy way to turn it off in the upper right. This honestly makes me so mad. It's just garbage product design. Why is the button to turn if off in the app? Because you know it sucks balls and everyone will want to turn it off. And no will use it and no one will spend time to make it better because no one's using it.
If you didn't ship garbage you wouldn't need 14 settings to "customize the user experience" because it would be good. It would be possible to use the app without having to go through settings. Can someone email this post to Craig.
