Tap "General settings," then select "Swipe actions." JR Go open up the Gmail Android app's settings (by tapping the three-line menu icon in the upper-left corner and scrolling down until you see the "Settings" option). Gmail Android feature No. 2: Custom swipe gesturesĮver wish you had an easy way to snooze messages from your inbox - or maybe even just mark 'em as unread without having to do a complicated finger-tap dance?
