Hi - I typically do the drills etc. on my phone (iOS) and in the latest version of the Chess.com app, if I navigate to the "Drills" tab then "Checkmates" is the first option. If I look on the website, there doesn't appear to be an equivalent any more unless I'm missing something? Could you please add the "Checkmates" section back in the "Drills" subsection for easy access?
Puzzles > Practice (Drills) > Drills
Puzzles > Endgames have the basic checkmates

Puzzles > Practice (Drills) > Drills
Puzzles > Checkmates have the basic checkmates
On the PC under Puzzles > Practive (Drills) > Drills I have the following options:
Attacking
Defending
Endgame Fundamentals
Endgame Practice
Imbalances
No basic checkmates.
I have no idea what "Puzzles > Checkmates" means as if I click "Puzzles" from the main menu I get:
Puzzles
Puzzles Rush
Puzzle Battle
Daily Puzzle
Custom

Puzzles -> Endgames -> Checkmates has some basic checkmates.

Yeah, Endgames, that's what I meant. 
This is an issue I'm having as well, but on my phone there was a folder called "drills", Inside it were not the same drill categories as in the "drills" folder located inside "practice"... Here is how I know I'm not just confused, I've been playing "rook mate" and "two bishop mate" drills, for the last week, and the selected drill would only be one postion every time you did it, the one under I can find in the other drills folder is a series of 5 positions you have to clear.

You could use the practice option in the new feature and just repeat each time.
@Martin_Stahl yeah I have been but I'm still just qondering what happened, it was extra convenient to have all those simple mate practices in one area and easily accessible

The basic mates are under the Endgames menu option. Not sure why all of those weren't combined under one heading.

I found it. Thanks a lot.
Hover with your cursor on the learn tab, then click "Endgames." There you can find "Checkmates" and clicking on that gives you the same options mobile has.

Online it is missing "Bishop and Knight Mate: The Edge", "Two Knights vs Pawn", and "Two Knights vs Pawn (Advanced)".
I'd really like a way to practice these online against a better engine. On mobile the engine makes random blunders with 30s engine timeout. If unlimited engine timeout it hangs and never makes a move.

You can find drills on Learn: Practice: Drills, and I think there are similar things there.
