Here’s the trick to mark an email as unread on your Apple Watch

Emails on Apple Watch

It might appear difficult to mark an email as unread on your Apple Watch if you’ve already read it. However, if it still requires a revision, you can put it under the Unread list again. It’s not difficult at all and this guide shows you how to do it!

How to mark an email as unread on your Apple Watch

Some emails require careful attention to detail. As such, reading them just once won’t suffice and you may need to run through their contents a few more times. So, to remind yourself about them again, you can either mark them as important or Unread. Let’s see how to mark an email as unread on your Apple Watch even if you’ve read it.

Press the Digital Crown on your Apple Watch to show the list of apps. Tap the Mail icon to open the app.
