Gmail App on iOS (swipe options)
While Google gave Gmail a design overhauled two months back, the Gmail App in iOS has also gained significant traction in terms of its downloads. We have covered the new Gmail revamped design in this post, do give a read and let us know what you think.
Today, we are going to share with you how to customize the Swipe Option in the Gmail App itself in iOS. It has been rather confusing that many Google search results return the instructions on configuring that in the native iOS Settings > Mail. This will not work if it’s not an native iOS Mail app.
The Swipe Option in Gmail app by default, it’s set tp “Archive”. Here’s how to change it to “Delete” instead.
- Open Gmail
- Click Settings
- Select your Gmail account
- Under General > When removing messages, I prefer to …
- Select Archive or Move to trashÂ
