Losing all the emails from your iOS inbox can be concerning, but there are a few steps you can take to try to restore them. Please follow these troubleshooting steps:


Check Gmail Account on Web:

  • Go to the Gmail website on your computer (www.gmail.com) and log in with the same account credentials you use on your iOS device.
  • Once logged in, check if your emails are still present in the web interface. If they are there, it means the emails are still in your Gmail account.

Verify Gmail Settings on iOS Device:

  • Open the "Settings" app on your iOS device.
  • Scroll down and tap on "Mail" or "Mail, Contacts, Calendars," depending on your iOS version.
  • Tap on your Gmail account.
  • Ensure that the "Mail" option is enabled. If it's already enabled, try disabling and re-enabling it.
