How to Flag Emails as Different Colors

If you’re the kind of person who frequently uses e-mail for job, personal, or business-related purposes, you might find it hard to manage all the mails you constantly receive in your inbox. Popular email services like Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook, etc. have their unique ways to prioritize emails by letting uses star or flag important mails.

However, Apple has decided to take flagging to a different level with the recent Mail app in modern iOS and iPadOS versions, adding a great new feature to help differentiate emails. The stock Mail app that’s baked into iPhone and iPad devices now allows users to flag emails with different colors. This nifty feature makes flagging better than most other third-party email apps when it comes to handling emails, as users can assign a flag color to a set priority level and categorize them based on importance.

If you’ve always wanted this functionality, you might be keen on trying this out for yourself. Well, you’ve come to the right place then, as we’ll be discussing exactly how to flag your emails as different colors on the iPhone and iPad.
