Swipe actions, labels, and Add to Tasks turn Gmail on Android into an inbox you can work through
The inbox does not need another app tonight, only the switches Gmail already ships with.
How-To Geek's T.M. Amrita walks through five changes inside the Android app, beginning with notification settings, inbox density, and conversation view, then moving to the parts that do the actual sorting. Labels are made from the left sidebar with Create new label and applied to a message from its three-dot menu under Label as; unlike a folder, a label leaves the message sitting in the inbox. Swipe actions live in Settings, then General settings, and can be assigned to archive, delete, mark read or unread, move to a label, or snooze. The same three-dot menu offers Add to Tasks, which pushes an email into Google Tasks where a date and time make it surface in Google Calendar, while the Gemini panel near the top of the app needs an eligible Google Workspace plan, a Google One AI subscription, or enabled Workspace Labs access.
