When engaging in a long conversation thread, have you ever wanted to make the latest message a little more accessible? I mean, it would be nice to be able to access the latest message without having to search through an entire email thread, right? Both Apple Mail for iOS and macOS allow you to show the latest message at the top of an email thread on your iPhone, iPad or Mac, making it a little easier to check for the latest reply. Unfortunately, this useful feature is turned off by default and is also somewhat overlooked – probably the main reason it’s less well known. Anyway, let’s give it a shot!

Not yet using iOS 13 or macOS Catalina? It’s okay as this feature has been available in the Apple Mail app for a long time. So even if your device is running the old operating system, you can use this nifty feature to change the order of the messages in the preview area of the email application.

Reorder Messages in Apple Mail Subjects
This is a simple way to change the order of messages in email threads. Now that you know this small but effective hack, make the most of it to easily access the latest message without having to dive deep into a particular conversation thread. In the meantime, let me know your feedback on Apple Mail and where it stands in the face of the plethora of best third-party email apps. Speaking of simplifying messaging, I’d like to turn your attention to an equally efficient feature called the two-finger tap gesture in iOS 13 that makes the process of managing Messages incredibly easy.
