Flag your emails on

Apple Watch

S

ometimes you receive an important email on your

Apple Watch but you won’t be in a position to

answer it there and then. Rather than close Mail

and make a mental note to come back to the message

only to find it’s now buried within a long list of junk email,

you can make life easier for yourself by flagging it instead.

Flagging up messages allows you to give them your

full attention when you have time to sit down, read and

act upon them, perhaps on your iPhone, iPad or Mac, on

which dealing with emails can feel more comfortable. It also

means important emails don’t become lost since they will

be made available in a special folder.

As well as flagging, you can mark any emails you have

read as unread which can help ensure that you can find

them easier later. It is also possible to delete emails on

your Apple Watch. All of these options combine to give you

great ways of managing your messages straight from your

wrist. Let’s see how it’s done...

Mark important emails so that you can quickly

come back to them later

Step-by-step Keep track of important emails

1

Open Mail app

First things first: open the Mail app on

your Apple Watch and, assuming you have

email accounts synced to your wearable,

select a specific folder or else tap ‘All Inboxes’.

2

Identify an email

Go down the list of your emails and,

when you come across one that you want to

flag and deal with later, simply swipe to the left.

Keep going until you see two options.

Select flag icon

As well as a delete button you will also

see an image of a flag. This is the one that you

need to tap and, in doing so, the email will be

marked for easy reference later.

Flagging up messages on your Apple Watch means that you

can find them easily when you need to act on them later...
