How do I see my trash icon on my watch?

How do I see my trash icon on my watch? I have selected deleted messages and unpaired and repaired and I still don't have a trash icon. I am using Gmail. If i don't have an icon and I delete the email on my iPhone does it disappear from my watch also?

Hello KDG1234,


Thanks for posting. As I understand it, you have a question about a Trash icon on your Apple Watch.


For clarification, are you asking about the Trash icon you use to delete mail, or are you looking for something like a Trash/Deleted Messages option? On your Apple Watch, the Trash icon is used to delete mail as shown below: Manage mail on Apple Watch


"Delete, mark as unread or read, or flag a message

Open the Mail app  on your Apple Watch, tap the message, then firmly press the display to:

  • Delete a message: Tap Trash.
  • If you’re looking at the message list, swipe left on the message, then tap .
  • Mark a message unread or read: Tap Unread or Read.
  • If you’re looking at the message list, swipe right on the message, then tap the Read or Unread button.
  • Flag a message: Tap Flag. (You can also unflag a message that’s already been flagged.)
  • If you’re looking at the message list, swipe left on the message, then tap .
  • To change the flag style, open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone, tap My Watch, then go to Mail > Custom > Flag Style.

If you swipe on a message thread, the action you choose (Trash, Flag, Read, or Unread) applies to the entire thread."


To answer your second question, generally speaking, deleting an email on one IMAP-type account would delete it from all other devices that share the same account.


Take care.
