In this guide, we will be discussing the “This message is only partially downloaded Download remaining 0.2 KB” error in the Mail app on iOS 16. The built-in email app in the Apple ecosystem manages to checkmark most of the prerequisites with ease. However, in spite of that, it isn’t free from its fair share of issues either.
iOS 16 Mail App: This message is only partially downloaded Download remaining 0.2 KB
In this regard, numerous users have voiced their concern that they are getting bugged with the “This message is only partially downloaded Download remaining 0.2 KB” error on every other email in the Mail app on iOS 16. As far as the plausible reason behind this issue is concerned, some users are pointing fingers at the Privacy Protection feature of the Mail App.
Before the entire contents of the email get downloaded, this feature hides your original IP and then loads the remote content privately in the background. However, as of now, it seems that it isn’t able to download the entire content of the email. While this could h ve been a playable reason, but not in the current scenario. This is because it couldn’t be a coincidence that everyone’s email content stops downloading only when 0.2KB of file is left.
So as of now both the reasoning as well as the plausible fix for this issue haven’t been documented yet. Moreover, as far as the official stance on this matter is concerned, the developers are yet to acknowledge this issue, let alone give out any ETA for the rollout of a fix. As and when any of these two things happen, we will update this guide accordingly.
