Gmail: بريد إلكتروني من Google ٤+

App goes back to Inbox too fast

ETA: I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled the app, as well as updating the iOS to 15.3.1. So far everything is working the way it should, so I’ve changed my rating from 2 ⭐️ to 5⭐️.
The blue line showing which email I last interacted with is a nice touch. I only have one comment now: if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it! Sometimes new features “for better efficiency” actually take more steps than the functionality they’re replacing. I’ll send a note to the product team: I don’t want to use Meet. I wish I could turn that option off in settings so I don’t bump it accidentally at the bottom of the screen. 😑
Original review:
I use a lot of labels, and when I click on a link in an email that’s not in the inbox, which takes me to a browser page, if I don’t return to gmail within about 30 seconds, when I do return it takes me back to the inbox instead of back to the label/folder I was in previously. Also, lately about half the time I open the app, the hamburger menu is missing and I have to take it out of multitasking and reopen it to fix that. I love the fact that I can add multiple labels and they are the right color, just like on the web interface, which isn’t available in the native Apple app, so I’m a fan, but these two issues are frustrating.

Finally!

Update - the only thing I have ever not really liked about iOS gmail was that there wasn’t an option to one click select-all messages. Couple weeks ago I experimented with another app that has this feature just because of that. Yesterday, I just tried gmail again and discovered it now had the feature. The select all even works better then the app I was testing. You can select all messages, mark them as Read and then without having to reselect them all delete them or move them or whatever. For me at least GMail is now pretty close to perfect for my needs. I need look no further.

For mail needs does what I need it to. I've been a gmail user for like forever so I like the integration. But why, after all this time time and complaints by other users do you still not have a "Select all" emails option? This just seems so basic and rudimentary. Other smaller companies have had this feature for years in their email apps. It's just shoddy for a company the size of google to add features they like but ignore the will and needs of their users. And yes, I've already submitted official feedback, for all the good it will do.

I’ve come all the way here to leave a review

The fact that I’ve gone out of my way to review an email app should say something. Why on earth can you not select all to delete mass emails through the app? It’s infuriating. I am rarely on my own desktop or laptop at home. I spend most of my online time at the office. And for some ridiculous reason, my company is extremely paranoid about gmail and has it completely blocked. Thus, I cannot log into my personal email through my work computer. I can only use my phone. But can I quickly select multiple/all emails in my junk folders to delete them at once through the app? No, I cannot. I have to select each one individually, which takes roughly a million years. Because I, like I’m sure a lot of people who have been using the same email since they were a teenager, have thousands upon thousands of junk emails sent to me every hour. So, to quickly and efficiently clean and organize my inbox, I must log into my email on my desktop at home in the evenings while my toddler is screaming at me. But do I do that? Of course not. Who thinks of cleaning their over-cluttered email inbox with their very limited evening free time. So of course, my millions of emails stack in my inbox for months until I can’t take it and eventually attempt to clean it all out, which takes hours, and I inevitably give up, and thus the cycle repeats.

For the love of God, Google. Please add a feature so we can select all in the app and save my sanity.
