Google makes its applications available not only on Android devices, but also to iPhone users and iPads. In addition, it often operates them in web form, so users have several options for how and from where to access them. But it is strange that when it introduces a new feature, it typically does not send it to all versions at once, but makes it available gradually. And sometimes with a very long time interval. This has also happened now, when a valuable feature that is commonplace on the desktop is just coming to Android. And it has been supported for a long time iOS.
This time the change concerns Gmail, which is one of the most widely used email clients in the world. And since it is always at hand on Android mobile phones or tablets thanks to logging in to a Google account, many users open it on these devices. If you are one of them, you will surely be surprised sometimes that what is obvious on a computer does not work on an Android mobile phone. There are more such features. But one of the strangest is that on Android You can't create, edit, or delete labels in Gmail..
Google has probably finally decided that the time has come to make this important feature available to Android devices. It has been available on the web for a long time, and iPhone owners can also use it. iPadBut you don't stand a chance on Android phones. But Android Authority revealed that Google is already working on making it work on Gmail on Android as well create, edit and delete labels directly from your phone.

The feature was discovered in version Gmail for Android (v.2025.12.29.855765709.Release) and it's still in the testing phase. This means it could come soon, or it might not come at all. But that would be very strange, so we're betting on the first option.
Once the feature is active and you open the Gmail app on your Android device, you'll see an option in the main sidebar Create a label. If you click on it, a simple dialog box will open where you can name the label as you like and save it. However, managing labels will be more complicated than on a computer. You will need to go to Settings, select item Inbox and then tap an option Manage labels. So it will be a similar procedure as on an iPhone or iPadu.
