GMail not marked read on computer after reading on iphone

Ever since downloading the new IOS 16 on my iphone 14 pro I have been having email problems.

I use the apple mail app to sync and access all my email accounts (multiple gmail).

I can access my gmail account emails on the apple mail but after reading them I noticed that when I log into my one of my gmail accounts on my computer the emails that I previously read on my iphone with new IOS 16 are not marked as read but rather as unread. There is a synching issue between gmail and apple after this new IOS 16 release that is not sending the notification to the gmail servers that the emails have been read on iphone. Anyone have a solution for this?

Thanks to everyone who took time to reply and especially to DerekM87. His suggestions worked for me. I tried toggling on and off which didn't help. I then deleted my gmail account on my iphone. It mail not have been necessary but I cleaned out my Safari cache and switched my phone off and back on again. They I added the email back. On my iphone, I clicked on each category of my email account - inbox, sent, drafts, etc including ones that I had added. It added back each one along with my gmail calendar that I use. I'm back in business after several days of frustration. I had also checked to be sure I had the latest apple update which was 16.5.1 at the time but that itself didn't solve it.

If this previously didn't work for you, you might want to try once again or please post for others if you found something that did.

I should have clarified that I had 2 gmail accounts on my iphone and the problem was only with 1 of them. Also, changes made on my computer showed up on my iphone but changes made on my iphone such as "read" and deletions didn't relect back on the gmail on my computer (Windows 10). The fix above solved that.

I should also clarify that after I went thru the above steps of deleting and adding back my gmail account to my iphone, it loaded the current state of my gmail account onto my iphone. Meaning that messages previously deleted on my iphone since this started, showed up again but now when I delete them or read them on the iphone, the change is reflected on my computer gmail. Hope that helps.
