To forward an email in Gmail mobile, you need to open the Gmail app and log in to your account.

First, locate the email you want to forward by scrolling through your inbox or using the search bar.

Tap on the email to open it, then tap the three vertical dots in the top right corner of the screen.

Select the "Forward" option from the dropdown menu to initiate the forwarding process.

You can also set up a filter to auto-forward certain emails based on an email address or keyword. To do this, go to the Gmail filter box and add the email address of the person whose emails you want to auto-forward.

Here are the steps to set up a filter:

  • Add the email address of the person whose emails you want to auto-forward.
  • After clicking Create Filter, select Forward it to and choose the destination email address in the drop-down box.

Unfortunately, there is no direct way to forward an entire email chain on mobile. However, you can click "Print All" and save the entire thread as a PDF on your mobile, then send the PDF as an attachment or a link.

Forwarding Specific Gmail Emails

You can forward specific Gmail emails instead of all of them, which is super helpful if you only want to forward emails from certain people or with specific keywords.

You can also use a keyword to set up the filter, but this might result in forwarding a lot of other emails that mention the same keyword.

To choose the destination email address, select Forward it to and choose the address in the drop-down box. The destination email address must already be set up in the Forwarding and POP/IMAP section.

Here's a quick rundown of the steps:

  • Go to the Gmail filter box
  • Add the email address or keyword you want to forward
  • Click Create Filter
  • Select Forward it to and choose the destination email address

Using Gmail's Conversation View

Using Gmail's Conversation View is a game-changer when forwarding email chains on your mobile device. The conversation view gathers all the emails in the chain and presents them as a single, organized thread.

This way, the recipient can read through the emails in the order they were sent, without missing any important information or getting confused about the order of the emails. Forwarding individual emails can lead to a jumbled mess, making it difficult for the recipient to understand the context of the conversation.

If you forward a thread with conversation view, the recipient will receive one cohesive thread, not multiple individual messages. This is especially helpful when you need to keep the conversation organized and easy to follow.

Forwarding Email Chains can be a bit tricky on mobile, but don't worry, I've got you covered. Unfortunately, there's no direct way to forward an entire email chain on mobile, which can be frustrating.

You can't just tap "Forward All" like you can on the website, so what's a Gmail user to do? One way to get around this is to click "Print All" and save the entire thread as a PDF on your mobile. Then, you can compose a new message and send the PDF as an attachment or a link.

You can also forward the last email in the thread and attach the PDF, which might be a good option if you only need to send a few emails. To print all emails in a thread, go to the Gmail mobile app, tap on an email, then tap Forward at the bottom of the screen.
