The Gmail email service is available on many of today’s Android devices, being one of the preferred managers for users. Over time it has gained weight ahead of other applications, but it has a lot of competition and knows that it cannot afford a mistake.
If you want to mark a Gmail message as read without opening the application, you will be able to do it with a tool external to the Google client. The app has two options, the first is to archive an email and the second is to reply to the email, both disposable if you have little time at the end of the day.
How to mark a Gmail message as read without opening the app
Gmail by default cannot mark a message as read without having to open the manager, for this we need an application from the Play Store called “Autonotification”. It will ask you for permissions like any application you install from the Google Play store.
Once you open it, many options will appear, the ones that will interest us to mark a Gmail message as read without opening the application is “Gmail Buttons”. Click on this option to access and enter the different options that it will show you to carry out the process.
- Once open and within Gmail Buttons put your email account
- Accept all the permissions that the application asks you to have the functions
- Choose the buttons that you want to appear when you receive an email, there will be one that will say “mark as read”, this is the one that we will have to include
It is a fairly simple application, especially useful for some things and that we have if you want to mark those emails so that the tray is not displayed at the top. Gmail usually notifies us when we receive emails from different contacts or companies.
AutoNotification also adds other cool features, including automatic responses, button notifications, notification table, quick setting tiles, and more. It has a 7-day trial, but the app’s price is quite low for what it offers.
