  3. Select "See all settings" from the dropdown menu.
  4. Click on the "Filters and Blocked Addresses" tab.
  5. Click on the "Create a new filter" button.
  6. Enter a name for your filter (e.g., "Work" or "Personal").
  7. Choose the label you want to create (e.g., "Work" or "Personal").
  8. Click on the "Create" button.

Method 2: Using the Gmail Mobile App

  1. Open the Gmail app on your mobile device.
  2. Tap on the three horizontal lines () in the top left corner of the screen.
  3. Tap on "Settings" from the dropdown menu.
  4. Scroll down to the "Filters" section.

Method 3: Using Keyboard Shortcuts

  1. Log in to your Gmail account.

Once you've created a label, you can apply it to individual emails by checking the box next to the email and selecting "Apply label" from the dropdown menu. You can also apply labels to multiple emails at once by selecting them and clicking on the "Apply label" button.

Note: Labels are not the same as folders in traditional email clients. Instead, they are a way to categorize and filter your emails within your Gmail account.
