Apple Mail on the Mac will get Apple Intelligence sorting with macOS 15.4
Share:
Apple Intelligence mail categorization is coming to the Mac. The priority sorting of emails in Apple Mail for iOS will come to the Mac in an update expected around April. Here's what's coming, and whether it'll be useful. One of the most successful elements of Apple Intelligence has been its use in Apple Mail, where alongside message summaries, it can now also categorize mail — on the iPhone. For some reason the same feature has not been released for the Mac, but this was always going to change, and now a new report says it will happen in April 2025.
According to Bloomberg, the same feature of using Apple Intelligence to sort messages into categories such as Primary or Updates, will be a part of macOS 15.4. The current version of macOS is 15.2, while macOS 15.3 is still in beta testing. There are more showy elements of Apple Intelligence, such as Image Playground, but it's going to be in applications like mail where it will really make a difference. Arguably it already is doing so with categorization in Mail on iPhone, but there the benefit is in how quickly users can see what's important.
For actually then replying to important emails, the Mac remains the better device with its larger screen and its full-size keyboard. At present, though, users can see an email is a Primary, or priority, one on the iPhone but there's no indication of that on the Mac.
