If you’re like most people, you probably check your email multiple times a day. But did you know that Gmail keeps track of how many times you’ve read each email? If you’d like to find out which emails haven’t been read yet, here’s how to do it. ..

Do you want to have a quick look at all your unread emails? If so, Gmail offers a couple of ways to do just that. You can perform a quick search that retrieves unread emails or make Gmail show all your unread emails first.

Display All Your Unread Emails First on Desktop

On your desktop, open a web browser and launch Gmail. Then, in the site’s top-right corner, click the gear icon and choose “See All Settings.”

In “Settings,” from the tab list at the top, select “Inbox.”

In the expanded “Inbox” tab, at the top, click the “Inbox Type” drop-down menu and choose “Unread First.”

Beneath the drop-down menu, you’ll see a new “Inbox Sections” section. Here, next to “Unread,” click the drop-down menu and choose how many unread emails you’d like Gmail to display on a page.

Optionally, click the “Everything Else” drop-down menu and choose how many other emails you’d like to see.

Then, save your changes by scrolling down the page and choosing “Save Changes.”

Gmail will take you back to your inbox where it now displays your unread emails at the top.

Add an Unread Tab to Your Mobile Inbox

On your mobile device, launch the Gmail app. Then, in the app’s top-left corner, tap the three horizontal lines.

Scroll down the menu that opens and choose “Settings.”

In “Settings,” select your email account followed by “Inbox Type” on Android. On iPhone, simply select “Inbox Type.”

In the “Inbox Type” menu, choose “Unread First.”

In the top-left corner of your screen, tap the back-arrow icon to access your inbox. Or, on iPhone, tap “Done.”

Then, open Gmail’s hamburger menu by tapping the three horizontal lines in the top-left corner.

You’ll now see a new tab called “Unread.” Tap this tab to access all your unread Gmail emails.

And that’s how you quickly get to the emails that are awaiting your response on Gmail.
