Gmail is one of the most widely used email apps. If you have a Gmail account and you are tired of hundreds of unread messages in your account, then we are here with a solution for this problem.

After that, we are bombarded with emails from these websites, which can be quite frustrating. By marking all the emails as read, you will not see the notifications in front of the inbox icon at the left, and a small sense of peace will prevail. Hopefully.
