  7. Tap "Save Changes" to save your settings.

Using Gmail Offline:

  1. Once you've enabled Gmail Offline, you can access your emails even when you don't have an internet connection.
  2. Open the Gmail app and sign in to your account.
  3. You'll see a notification that says "Offline" at the top of the screen.
  4. You can view and manage your emails, including reading, composing, and deleting messages.
  5. You can also use the search function to find specific emails.

Tips and Limitations:

  1. Gmail Offline only works with the Gmail app, not with the web version of Gmail.
  2. You can only access emails that are stored on your device, not emails that are stored on the server.
  3. You can't send emails while offline, but you can compose them and they'll be sent when you go online.
  4. You can't use Gmail Offline on public computers or shared devices, as it requires a login and password.
  5. If you have a large number of emails, you may need to delete some to free up storage space for offline use.

Troubleshooting:

  1. If you're having trouble accessing Gmail Offline, try restarting the app or checking your internet connection.
  2. If you're experiencing issues with syncing your offline emails, try deleting the app's cache and data or reinstalling the app.
