I am using iOS 26.5 and macOS 26.5.
Is there any way to “Erase Junk Mail…” in iOS the same way one might with the context menu for Mail in macOS? Here is a screenshot of the context menu item in Mail in macOS for reference:
It is very nice and clean: Just select “Erase Junk Mail…” and et voilà! All of the junk mail is gone! But seemingly just in macOS.
There doesn’t seem to be an equivalent method in iOS. Unless I am missing something?
Update: To clarify things, if I “Select All” for trashing junk mail in iOS, the junk mail is moved to the “Trash.” And when it is moved to the trash, it seems to “whitelist” content that was once junk.
Since junk mail always is sent again and again, if I move an email from someone like “Josh Cantwell” from junk to “Trash” any future email from “Josh Cantwell” is whitelisted and then shows up in my in box at a later date. Clearly messing up the junk/spam detection.
That is why “Erase Junk Mail…” is cleaner; junk is junk until it is erased and gone.
