How to Delete All Gmail Emails at Once on Android – Almost everyone has a cellphone. The number of mobile users in the world is expected to exceed the five billion mark in 2019.
Google’s operating system that is Android has more than 2 billion active users today.
In the US, Android’s share of smartphone shipments rose 8.2 percentage points year-on-year (YoY) to reach a 62% share. This statistic proves the Android operating system is popular, as well as the products in it.
Let’s talk about email,
Do you get many unnecessary emails in your inbox? Relax, you’re not alone.
According to “Internet Live Stats,” 2,690,160 official emails are sent every second! Even more than 200 billion every day!
That means more than 30 emails for every person on earth, every day.
That is a fantastic number, so every one of us who has Android must have complaints about the number of emails.
Of course, not everyone in the world sends 30 emails per day. Very few want to do it. But many businesses out there send thousands of emails every day.
Many business people assess marketing using email is very useful, but this also harms consumers. Statista shows that 60% of all emails sent are spam in September 2017. If you have ever seen a spam folder, you will have no trouble believing that.
Gmail app has several weaknesses, including the absence of a way to delete many emails at once. We have to choose one by one the email that we want to remove. This action is annoying!
For this reason, setting up and deleting Gmail at once is more convenient for Gmail PC versions.
Warning :
You need to know, Gmail will permanently remove the deleted email that enters the junk folder in the next 30 days. Please secure your essential email, for example forwarding important email to another email. After being erased there is no way to reverse it (One of the weaknesses of Gmail, again?)
