Native iPhone mail app: Yahoo and Aol account creation paths have dead Terms and Privacy Policy links

 iOS 14.7 on an iPhone 8

Mail App for iOS

Date: 08/10/2021

Description:

Here's an odd problem I just noticed. If you delete and then re-download the native iOS mail app, you will be presented with a screen like this after you launch the app:

As you can see, "yahoo!" and "Aol." are offered as default options to connect to the native mail app.

If you select either "yahoo!" or "Aol." there is also an option to create a new account. 

There are problems with the links displayed by Yahoo and Aol. that are accessible from this page. Both Yahoo and Aol. have an account creation path, where these links are presented:

The "Terms" and "Privacy Policy" links do not open when pressed. 

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Delete the native iPhone mail app

2. Re-download the native iPhone mail app

3. Launch the app

4. From the "Welcome to Mail" prompt select  "yahoo!" 

5. Select "Create an account"

6. Scroll down and select either "Terms" or "Privacy Policy"

Result: The "Terms" and "Privacy Policy" links do not work on either the Yahoo or Aol. account creation options accessible from the native mail app's "Welcome to Mail" page

Expected: Links to "Terms" and to a "Privacy Policy" for Yahoo and Aol. should always be accessible 

Re-download and launch the native iOS mail app...

Select either the "yahoo!" or "Aol." options on this screen...

Select the "Create an account' option...

Select either "Terms" or "Privacy Policy" - no access to either terms or privacy policies
