Yahoo Mail for iOS Features New Colorful Themes & 3D Touch Gestures
By Mayukh Bhaowal, Product Manager
Update Yahoo Mail for iOS today for new ways to personalize your inbox with 11 stunning new color themes, and 3D Touch capabilities for quick access to information in your inbox.

Customize the Look of Your Inbox
The new color themes come in a variety of lighter to darker backgrounds so you can choose the color that matches your personality the best and the shades that are best for your readability. Under Settings → Themes, you have the option to select a theme for each of your connected accounts including Yahoo Mail, Gmail, Outlook.com, Hotmail or AOL Mail. A different theme for each account can help you distinguish between each inbox.

3D Touch for iPhone 6s and 6S Plus
3D Touch features offer new ways to interact with your inbox to save you time and taps. Yahoo Mail has one of the best smart contacts platforms that manages and updates information for your contacts automatically. When viewing a message, you can now Peek (press) on any contact in the to/from line to bring up a helpful contact card. Then, swipe up to reveal additional quick actions for sending a new email or searching emails from that contact. Also, in the account switcher (profile icon in top right), you can peek into any inbox of your connected accounts without having to open it.
