You can modify the Photos app to be just like pre iOS 18 just by using “Customize and Reorder”.

Absolutely nothing has changed about mail if you turn off Apple Intelligence and Image Playgrounds is just an app that you don’t have to use.

I see mail now has mandatory images next to each mail item, how can that be turned off?

Settings -> Apps -> Mail -> Show Contact Photos

I did not know that, thanks. But still - if I have to research now how to do that it‘s still going in the wrong direction, no? Besides, it‘s rare that Apple gives a choice, usually you have to adapt at whatever they decide.

So Apple shouldn’t make things more customizable?

There is no way to get the old Photos interface back.
