Les autres fournisseurs ne remettent pas en circulation des adresses supprimées et ne permettent pas ce type de recherche. vous luttez contre le risque de sécurité d’un côté et vous ouvrez la fenêtre de l’autre ou et la logique je critique pas c’est une sonnette d’alarme uniquement. ### 3/5 — Where’s my sent mail *2026-08-23, version 6.0.260810* No sent mail is displayed in that box for last month. Have deleted and reinstalled several times. Even test emails to myself don’t show in sent box. What gives??? ### 2/5 — Why ads!? This is supposed to be email! Total bait and switch! They get you hooked on gmail... *2026-08-22, version 6.0.260810* Why ads!? This is supposed to be email! Total bait and switch! They get you hooked on gmail and then blow your inbox up and you can't see what is important and what is an ad! It is better to pay for real email elsewhere unless they get rid of the ads. ### 3/5 — ok *2026-08-22, version 6.0.260810* 👍🏻 ### 3/5 — Selection Jumps *2026-08-21, version 6.0.260810* The latest update now causes the inbox to “jump” when selecting emails, moving the screen and making me select incorrect options. The top menu changes from the search bar to the number of items deleted but by making this change, it moves the screen. Was this necessary? Ugh ### 4/5 — Glitches! *2026-08-20, version 6.0.260810* I don’t know why when I try to go back to old conversations, it doesn’t load that . ### 1/5 — Slow laggy sign in *2026-08-20, version 6.0.260810* For the past two months the sign in across any platform or device has been damn slow. Fix this sh’hit! ### 1/5 — Give option to hide/exclude delegated inbox *2026-08-20, version 6.0.260810* Up until recently delegated inbox would not show up in the app - which I preferred. Maybe I’m out of the A/B test and now I see all delegated inbox. Can we please have a setting, with an easy toggle, to hide delegated inboxes!? ### 1/5 — Done *2026-08-20, version 6.0.260810* Google is dirty for making it hard to clean up your storage just so you’ll buy more space doesn’t make any sense. ### 1/5 — Way too snoopy *2026-08-19, version 6.0.260810* Way too invasive. Google makes it very complex to delete stored data. Owners think it has a right to our data. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Lacks features, limited functionality *2026-08-23* Despite the things it can do, the Gmail app lacks features and has limited functionality compared to Apple Mail and doesn’t offer a way to turn off the email reading pane (somehow, I turned it on by clicking the screen edge; and now I can’t turn it off despite a web search indicting there’s a menu option for “no split” - there’s no such option). Some useful features - to name a few - would include Gmail remembering where I file emails from certain senders and letting me search my email labels from the “move to” menu (without me needing to turn on AI; these aren’t features that require AI to function). Also, there’s a bug in the app: if I create a new label/folder when moving an email, the app becomes unresponsive to touch and I have to close and reopen it each time). **Developer response:** Hi there. Thanks for your review. We'd like our users to have the best possible experience with the Gmail app. Please let us know what we can improve. If you experience issues with the app, feel free to create a new thread in our Gmail Help Community for our experts to review: https://goo.gle/3586PHb. Thanks. ### 1/5 — Update mismatch *2026-08-22, version 6.0.260810* The latest update has design flaws for ipad and iphone and moves when you try to select emails making it difficult ### 1/5 — 🤮 *2026-08-22, version 6.0.260810* Sucks cuz its made by google and apple is better ### 1/5 — But why *2026-08-22, version 6.0.260810* I, can’t even get a text back, my nan drives a Lambo it’s black, only joking she drives a corsa, petrol money would be nice but won’t force her, old school no text in the letter, that’s good but we can do better, that’s what I said when I met her, I’m a DJ a Btec Guetta, But, but why, but but, but why, ### 1/5 — Dose not know how to recover a account *2026-08-21, version 6.0.260810* I forgot my password so went to the help center and it said put in password to verify yourself! Like it’s so stupid I put in the correct password for my gmail it says incorrect many times ### 1/5 — can’t even log in *2026-08-21, version 6.0.260810* it’s good but im trying to log in and it’s not letting me eventhough I pressed forgot password it’s bad ### 1/5 — Total Creeps *2026-08-21, version 6.0.260810* Since last 2 years google have been deleting public accounts because they’re forcing people on other platforms to buy google products only. Even if you use any other android device manufacturer you’re not guaranteed to create gmail account without phone number and even photo id. Which I did provide my id but still I was booted saying I miss used the product because I never had used google for quite while since 2014. I am iOS, apple, windows and linux user. Plus google is spying on you all the time since I was setting up a new business and gave my cell number to my business acquaintances I tried to sign up for free google voice account but id was required gave it even tried to get premium service but creepy company would not let me sign-up when that went through with in 8 hours they shut my google voice account and took the number away I already shared with my family and friends. If you do not want to provide service kindly be upfront and if you have given the number and want to shutdown the service at least give that person a choice to port the number out. If google and all other companies want to keep spying your customers are going to soon leave you. When DOJ says something don’t warm up the pockets of politicians but listen to DOJ and your customers. With this attitude soon you will be one of those companies that will have no customers then how will you retain your stock, pay your employees etc etc. ### 1/5 — Esta aplicación *2026-08-21, version 6.0.260810* Entonces si uno no tiene un iPhone que coja la actualización IOS 18 uno tampoco puede tener gmail y que se joda to’ Porque para cualquier verificación te mandan un correo al gmail,y ni hablar si alguien se quiere comunicar con correo. Que gran jugada. ### 1/5 — They disabled the ability to limit notifications without AI reading your email *2026-08-21, version 6.0.260810* They are training their model on your emails and if you turn it off (on by default) then you get bombarded with emails. Yeah definitely looking at other options. ### 1/5 — Sponsored links keep opening automatically *2026-08-20, version 6.0.260810* When I select all to delete my email in the Promotions folder, it’ll delete the email then automatically open the websites for sponsored emails. This is quite annoying. It seems to only do this on the iPad version of Gmail because I don’t have this issue on the iPhone version. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Awsome *2026-08-22, version 6.0.260810* This is one of the best app ever who ever made this you are the best ### 5/5 — Gmail good and reliable *2026-08-22, version 6.0.260810* Good ### 5/5 — Reliable *2026-08-22, version 6.0.260810* Two decades of use,never a glitch .
