Create new Labels in Gmail App

Gmail App in my Android device shows correctly all the labels that I created using Gmail through web interface.

Can I create new labels in Gmail on Android device using Gmail App?

Also, ideally, once I create these new labels in Gmail App, I obviously should be seeing the same in Web Interface of Gmail too (Sync!!).

Any ideas?

Answer

As of current writing, it seems that it's (still) impossible to create a new label in Android Gmail app. From Google Gmail official support,

Create a label

1. On a computer, open Gmail. You can't create labels from the Gmail app.


2. On the left, click More.


3. Click Create new label.


4. Name your label.


5. Click Create.
