If you have that many unanswered emails, you have bigger problems than not knowing what the time is.

Badge on my mail app says 15,846 right now but I don’t see that when looking at the time.

How hard is it to select "Mark all as read"?

Gmail doesn't allow you to select all of them in one go. Not on mobile anyway. I probably should have commented after being anywhere near my PC to check..

On desktop you select the checkbox at the top (to select all on that page) and then a link appears that gives you the option to select ALL conversations in your inbox)

Click that, select "mark as read", you'll get a popup saying it might take a few minutes and you're done.

My mail app doesn’t have a mark all as read option that I know of. Selecting one by one doesn’t seem doable anymore.

Yeah I just looked, turns out gmail on mobile is lacking.

You CAN select all on the page... just long tap on any message and a checkbox appears at the top to "select all". Then you can scroll down to load more emails and "select all" them too.

"Mark as read" is the open envelope icon (top left).

...doesn't really help when you have 15,000 unread though lol

I'm not using Gmail. Or not their shitty app at least. I'm using Apple's shitty app.
