Use a web browser on Android or the Gmail app on iPhone/iPad to create labels.
By the way, we're Bardeen, we build a free AI Agent for doing repetitive tasks.
Since you're managing Gmail labels, you might love Bardeen's automation for Gmail. It can automate label creation and other email tasks, saving you time and effort.
If you're struggling to create a new label directly in the Gmail app on your Android device, it's because this functionality is not available in the mobile app. However, you can still create labels by using a web browser to access the desktop version of Gmail. On the other hand, if you're using an iPhone or iPad, you can create labels directly within the Gmail app. Here's how you can create labels in both scenarios:
2. Sign in with your Gmail account.
3. Decline the prompt to use the Gmail app by selecting 'Use the web version' or 'I am not interested'.
4. Tap the three-line menu ☰ at the top-left corner.
5. Scroll down and tap 'Desktop' to switch to the desktop version of Gmail.
6. Tap the gear icon or 'Settings' at the top-right corner. You may need to select 'See all settings' if you're using a tablet.
7. Tap the 'Labels' tab to view existing labels and the option to create a new one.
8. Enter a name for your new label and tap 'Create'. If you don't see a field to type in, tap 'Create new label' first.
9. To assign the new label to a message in the Gmail mobile app, open the app, tap the message, tap the three vertical dots, select 'Change labels', choose your label, and tap 'OK'.
2. Scroll down and tap '+ Create new' under the 'Labels' section.
3. Type a name for your label and tap 'Save'.
4. To assign the new label to a message, go back to your inbox, tap the message, tap the three horizontal dots, select 'Label', choose the label(s) you want to assign, and tap the checkmark to save.
By following these steps, you can effectively manage your emails by creating and assigning labels in Gmail, whether you're using an Android device or an iPhone/iPad.
