How to select all in Gmail
Gmail is among thebest email apps on Android, and for a good reason. It features solid automation, filters, and tools you can take advantage of. Email inboxes tend to fill up with junk, and while you can filter, sort, and clear out inbox items, the process requires a manual touch.

In short, no. Google limits the Android app to manual selections. There is a workaround, but it should only be used if you don’t have another option because it’s not user-friendly. If you need to clear out your mailbox or do bulk email management, and you can only do it on your phone, do it from your phone’s web browser.
First, open your phone’s web browser, navigate to Gmail, and log in using your Google account credentials. Once you’re logged in, confirm that you want to go to the browser version instead of downloading the app. This opens the mobile version of the browser-based Gmail inbox. Next, follow these steps:
The Gmail app for iOS does not allow you to select all, but the Apple Safari browser allows you to load the desktop version, so the same process applies to iPhones.
Avoid small screens for productivity work
It’s a shame that Google refuses tomake the Gmail app more functional. It’s not as if phone screens are too small to get work done. If you’re trying to get work done when you’re out and about but don’t want to carry a bulky laptop, an Android tablet might be a good bet, especially since many of the best ones have desktop environments built into the user experience.
