  • You can add Yahoo Mail to your iPhone by downloading the official Yahoo Mail app.
  • You can also add your Yahoo Mail account to the iPhone's default Mail app.
  • Once you add your Yahoo Mail account, you can send and receive emails right from your iPhone.

While some people log into the Yahoo Mail website through a browser to check their mail, this can be pretty inconvenient. If you have an iPhone, a better solution is to add your Yahoo Mail account to your iPhone.

It's faster and more efficient than checking email in a web browser, and you get all the convenience of a full-feature email app that's optimized for the iPhone's screen.
