As we receive more and more emails, our inboxes can quickly become overwhelming.

Luckily, Gmail offers a simple and efficient way to organize our emails: by creating folders.

In this tutorial, we’ll walk you through the steps of moving emails to folders in the Gmail app.


Open the Gmail App

First, open the Gmail app on your smartphone or tablet.

If you’re not already signed in, enter your Gmail credentials and sign in.

Choose an Email to Move

Next, select the email that you want to move to a folder.

Tap and hold the email until a checkmark appears next to it.

Tap the Folder Icon

Once you’ve selected the email, tap the folder icon located at the top of the screen.

This will open a dropdown menu of your existing folders, as well as the option to create a new folder.

Choose a Folder or Create a New One

Choose the folder where you want to move the email by tapping on it.

If you don’t see the folder you want, select “New folder” and give your folder a name.

Once you’ve selected or created a folder, tap “Move” to move the email to that folder.

Find Your Email in the Folder

To find the email in the folder, tap the menu icon (three lines) located in the top-left corner of the app.

This will open a menu of all your folders. Tap on the folder where you moved the email to find it.
