Please be advised that the recent Apple iOS 18.2 software update may affect the receipt of the Court's Notices of Electronic Filing. The software update modifies the native iOS Mail app and adds a new feature called categories. These categories were intended to assist users in prioritizing their email messages. Users have conveyed to some courts that emails sent via CM/ECF and GovDelivery were automatically categorized as "Updates" and thereby filtered out of their inboxes. This categorization could result in the unintentional overlooking of important case-related and other court notifications.

Users may want to modify their Mail app automatic categories or disable the categorization all together. For more information on the software update and to review the steps for modifying this new feature, please visit the Apple support website here.
