Delete All Emails In Your Gmail Trash Folder From Android

The official Gmail mobile app is highly regarded by Android and iOS users alike. However, one aspect where the Android variant of the app disappoints compared to its iOS counterpart is the lack of an option to empty the Trash folder. As you keep deleting mails from your various Gmail folders, they’re temporarily stored under the Trash label, but there is no easy means to permanently delete such mails from within the app itself. As a result, Android users mostly have to rely on their desktop or mobile browser to accomplish this task, if they don't want to delete mails from trash one by one. On the other hand, iOS users have the luxury of availing this service right from the official Gmail app. If you’re an Android user looking for a quick solution in this regard, you can avail the services of Empty Gmail Trash. This small yet useful Android app can help you get rid of all your Gmail Trash contents with just a tap. Read More
