Gmail app not working - fix?

Gmail app faulty

Sometimes there is no In box, on the gmail app of my phone
System 10.0.0.190

I have to restart the phone to get the In box back, the app will make emails but not read them
Any clues on how to fix this?


Thank you

Is Google Play Services up to date?

The actual G-Mail app does not need to be up to date, in my experience.

But Google Play Services can be screwy if it is not.

Yes, everything is up to date, no probs with any other app or the OS.
very confusing.

Ok, then perhaps a recent update is buggy.

Try clearing all data from the G-Mail app (you will need to reset your settings within the app) and if that doesn't help try uninstalling the updates of G-Mail.
(Once again, all settings within the app will need to be reset.)

I've done this

Thanks for the help

I am on a desktop computer and use Gmail.

Firefox is really buggy right now and I am having to open my Gmail in Chrome to read it, as Fx is having major issues with it.

Not sure if it is a Firefox issue, a Gmail issue, or both.

At this point I would just use my browser.
Although the app is more convenient, it is not working at present.

I have long ago chosen to limit my apps to things that I cannot access with my browser.

This saves a ton of space on my devices, and frees up loads of system resources as well.

Even a cheap POS like mine is suddenly so much quicker and more able to multi-task.

This seemed to work in Android

After updating, then deleting update, then updating again seems to e working

thanks

Thanks
The problem has come back, no In box.


Will try

There is enough space, thanks

It still happens, but I cure it by sending an email to myself, which closes the app and fixes it

thanks

I still do not get new Gmail audible notification on my G7 like it used to do.

I refuse to update the app at all.
My G-Mail app is whatever version came with the device.

I had too many issues with too many updates to fool with it in any other way.
