What is a roter?  I haven’t noticed any problems with my email – but I’m not fond of the voice to text change. Normally when you stop the microphone it reverts back to the keyboard automatically. Now you have to click on the keyboard icon to bring it back.

I haven't yet upgraded to IOS 11, and maybe it's just as well.  If any of
you have, and if you are now having trouble with the roter in mail you may
be interested in reading this.

During the iOS beta process, many testers discovered that the actions rotor
in the iOS 11 Mail app was behaving inconsistently compared with other apps.
Based on my email box over the last couple of weeks, many of our customers
have discovered it too, and it has caused a lot of confusion and wasted
time.

A recent iOS 11.1 beta makes it clear that this is not a bug. It's a new,
and inconsistent, way of working in mail that at this point, Apple intends
sticking with in iOS 11.1. I have blogged about this issue, and why it is
important. You can read that blog post here.

If you, like me and many of our customers, want the actions rotor to behave
in mail as it does in other apps, could you please take the time to do two
things before it's too late.

First, write a respectful message to accessibility at apple.com asking that the
actions rotor work as it used to do in Mail and as it still does in other
apps, so you know for sure when you're going to open an email and when
you're going to delete it. Remember, the people receiving your message
didn't make this decision. They're on the front line and will simply be
passing it on.

Second, if you could forward this message to anyone you think is being or
may be affected by Apple's decision, and share the blog post via social
media, that would be much appreciated.

Perhaps we are not too late to get this change reversed in time for iOS
11.1.

Hopefully, you were able to read this message and not delete it.

Thank you so much for your help.
