Fix Gmail Line-Height Shifts in iOS Mail (Apple) — SendGrid Guide for Financial Services & Banking
Financial emails carry high-compliance requirements. Layout collapses, overlapping text, or accessibility failures can lead to compliance audits and client confusion. Below is the targeted integration guide to fix Gmail Line-Height Shifts inside iOS Mail (Apple) templates when using SendGrid.
Technical Breakdown
iOS Mail (Apple) uses the WebKit Mobile which lacks support for standard rendering rules. This causes Gmail Line-Height Shifts elements to break or collapse when rendering templates.
SendGrid Behaviors
SendGrid's template parser automatically injects custom style tags that can override inline styles. Always use inline style definitions and define clear target widths. Enforce strict WCAG color contrast standards across your statement tables and summary grids to ensure legibility and regulatory compliance.
Remediation Code Block
Define line-height as a unitless ratio (e.g. line-height: 1.4) or in explicit percentages (e.g. line-height: 140%). Avoid mixing em and px units, and apply the styles directly to the containing td or span tags containing typography. In your SendGrid campaign manager, make sure you configure your links to run via {{{unsubscribe}}}.

How to Deploy inside SendGrid
Copy the fixed VML or table wrapper code block from the remediation box above.
Open SendGrid Design Editor, toggle the view mode to Code Editor, or insert a custom 'Code' module block inside your drag-and-drop layout. Drop the corrected code inside the box.
