Use categories in Mail on iPad
In iPadOS 18.4 or later, the Mail app automatically sorts your email messages into categories to help you find and manage messages more quickly (not available in all countries or regions).
Primary: Find personal messages and time-sensitive information.
Transactions: Keep track of your confirmations, receipts, and shipping notices.
Updates: Catch up on news, newsletters, and social updates.
Promotions: Browse your coupon and sales emails.
Note: When a Transactions, Updates, or Promotions message includes time-sensitive information, it will also be included in the Primary message list.

When you tap a Transactions, Updates, or Promotions message, a digest view of messages from that sender opens. For example, if you open a Transactions message, all of the other Transactions messages from that sender will appear when you scroll up or down.
