IOS Apple Mail Swipes: configuring both archive and delete on the left swipe

I have both Apple mail and Gmail set up on Apple's Mail app on my iPhone. The current default swipe configurations have me swipe right for delete and swipe left for archive.

I would much prefer to have both archive and delete on the same swipe, with a half swipe to archive, and pull all the way over for delete. This seems so much more efficient. In looking in the settings, I do not see a way to configure this. Is it possible?

iPhone XR, iOS 16

I don't think it is. In Settings > Mail > Swipe Options you can only choose one option (in addition to the predefined ones). The predefined Delete option is only defined in swipe left; you would then need to add Archive to the Swipe Left option but you cannot. Archive is only available in the Swipe Right option.


You could communicate your suggestion to Apple, though: Product Feedback - Apple.
